REAT  pains  have  been  takcMi  in  the  construc 
tion  of  this  work,  to  give  the  narrative  the 
roundness,  unity,  and  fluency  that  are  so  es 
sential  to  the  interest  and  picturesqueness  of 
the  story,  and  to  a  conception  of  the  life  of 
the  Lord  Jesus  in  its  oneness  and  consecu- 
tiveness.  Without  doubt  the  best  way  to 
study  Christ  is  to  read  each  of  the  Gos 
pels  in  its  unity.  Supplementary  to  this  the 
scholar  is  able  to  construct  for  himself,  by 
a  laborious  study  of  learned  works  and  a 
diligent  comparison  of  the  several  (iospels, 
a  conception  of  the  life  of  Christ  as  a 
whole.  It  is  to  assist  the  general  reader  in 
forming  such  a  conception  that  the  present 
consolidation  is  made. 

It  is  now  two  hundred  and  twenty  years  since  the  learned  Dr. 
Lightfoot  published  his  celebrated  harmony  of  the  four  Gospels  ; 
and  very  many  others  have  labored  in  this  Held  during  these  two 
centuries.  But  the  plan  and  purpose  of  the  present  work  differs 
in  some  regards  from  all  that  have  gone  before.  For  this  is  not

a  harmony,  properly  so  called.  No  endeavor  has  been  made  to 
reconcile  apparent  discrepancies.  Where  there  were  variations  in 
the  minor  details  of  an  incident  as  given  in  the  Gospels,  I  have 
followed  that  which  was  the  fullest  and  the  most  vivid.  I  might 
have  gone  further  in  piecing  together  the  narratives,  but  this  sort 
of  patchwork  has  been  often  made  at  the  expense  of  fluency  and 
interest  in  the  history.  To  have  woven  into  the  narrative  all  the 
varying  phrases  of  the  four  historians,  even  at  the  expense  of  clear 
ness  and  grammatical  construction,  would  have  been  to  sacrifice 
to  a  masoretic  veneration  for  the  letter  of  the  sacred  text  the  in 
terest  and  usefulness  of  the  work.  All  marginal  readings,  and 
all  references  to  the  several  Gospels,  and  all  marks  of  chapters  and 
verses  in  the  Gospels,  have  been  carefully  omitted,  that  the  atten 
tion  of  the  reader  might  never  be  diverted  from  the  narrative  itself, 
and  that  the  picture  of  Christ's  life  might  be  presented  with  that 
unbroken  continuity  to  which  we  are  accustomed  in  reading  mod 
ern  books.  The  preface  to  Luke,  as  pertaining  to  but  one  Gospel, 
and  the  two  genealogies,  have  been  omitted ;  since,  however  valu 
able  they  may  be  in  their  places,  they  would  not  help,  but  rather 
hinder,  the  purpose  of  this  compilation.  The  present  arrangement, 
therefore,  is  in  the  exact  words  of  the  authorized  version  of  the 
Gospels  ;  there  is  nothing  added,  nothing  changed.  But  it  makes 
no  pretension  to  include  every  word  of  all  the  Gospels.  It  is  bet 
ter  to  be  useful  than  ingenious. 

The  order  of  time  is  chiefly  that  marked  out  by  Dr.  Ellicott  in 
his  Hulsean  Lectures.  In  minor  arrangements  and  adaptations  of 
the  text  much  assistance  has  been  derived  from  an  anonvmous

Diatesseron  published  in  Oxford  in  1837. 

I  am  fully  aware  that  the  principal  attraction  of  the  book  is 
not  the  part  which  fell  to  my  share,  but  the  illustrations  after  Alex- 
andre  Bida's  magnificent  designs.  The  artist's  pencil  has  hardly 
ever  told  THE  STORY  so  effectively.  To  these  the  publishers  have 
added  a  series  of  exegetical  illustrations  that  serve  exceedingly  well 


PREFACE.  v 

to  explain  those   portions  of  the  narrative  which  refer  to  Oriental 
customs. 

I  sincerely  hope  that  these  pa^es  may  contribute  something  to  a 
better  comprehension  of  the  life  of  the  Son  of  Man,  who  "  came  not 
into  the  world  to  condemn  the  world,  but  that  the  world  through 
him  mij»;lit  be  saved."

INTRODUCTION. 


THE  ETERNAL  WORD. 


HE  beginning1  of  the  Gospel  of  Jesus  Christ  tlie   Son  of 


In  the  beginning  was  the  Word,   and   the  Word  was 
with  God,  and  the  Word  was  God.     The  same  was  in 
the   beginning  with  God.      All   things   were  TheWord 
made  by  him;  and  without  him  was  not  anything  made  that  ?hecrdeSe'ofand 
was  made.      In  him  was  life  ;    and  the    life  was    the    light  of  * 
men.      And    the   light    shineth    in    darkness  ;    and    the    darkness    conlpre- 
hended  it  not. 

There  was  a  man  sent  from  God,  whose  name  was  John.  The  same  came 
for  a  witness,  to  bear  witness  of  the  Light,  that  all  men  through  him  might 
believe.  He  was  not  that  Light,  but  was  sent  to  bear  witness  Christ,  the  true 

Light  of  the 

of  that  Light.  That  was  the  true  Light,  which  Iigliteth  every  world- 
man  that  cometh  into  the  world.  He  was  in  the  world,  and  the  world  was 
made  by  him,  and  the  world  knew  him  not.  He  came  unto  his  own,  and 
his  own  received  him  not.  But  as  many  as  received  him,  to  them  gave  he 
power  to  become  the  sons  of  God,  even  to  them  that  believe  on  his  name : 
which  were  born,  not  of  blood,  nor  of  the  will  of  the  flesh,  nor  of  the  will 
of  man,  but  of  God. 

And  the  Word  was  made  flesh,  and  dwelt  among  us,  (and  we  beheld  his 
glory,  the  glory  as  of  the  only  begotten  of  the  Father,)  full  of  Thewordmade 
grace  and  truth.     John  bare  witness  of  him,  and  cried,  saying, 
"This  was  he  of  whom  I  spake,  He  that  cometh  after  me  is  preferred  before 
me;  for  li<-  \va*  before  me.     And  of  his  fullness  have  all  we  received,  and 
grace  for  gran-.     For  the  law  was  given  by  Moses,  but  grace  and  truth 
came  by  Jesus  Christ,     No  man  hath  seen  God  at  any  time;    the  only- 
begotten   Son,    which  is   in  the  bosom  of  the   Father,   he   hath   declared 
him."

CHATTER    I. 


THK   ANNUNCIATION.  — BIRTH   OF  JOHN. 

UKRK  w;is  in  the  days  of  Ilorod,  the  king  of  Judaea,  a 
certain  priest  named  Zacharias,  of  the  course  of  Abia  : 
and  his  wife  was  of  the  daughters  of  Aaron, 

The  parentage 

and  her  name  was  Elisabeth.     And  they  were  of  John- 
both  righteous  before  God,  walking  in  all  the  command 
ments  and  ordinances  of  the   Lord  blameless.      And  thev   had  no  child, 

j 

because  that  Elisabeth  was  barren ;  and  they  both  were  now  well  stricken 
in  years. 

And  it  came  to  pass,  that  while  he  executed  the  priest's 
office  before  God  in  the  order  of  his  course,  according  to 
the  custom  of  the  priest's  office,  his  lot  was  to  burn  in 
cense  when  he  went  into  the  temple  of  the  Lord.  And 
the  whole  multitude  of  the  people  were  praying  without 
at  the  time  of  incense.  And  there  appeared  unto  him  an 
angel  of  the  Lord,  standing  on  the  right  side  of  the  altar 
of  incense.  And  when  Zacharias  saw  him,  he  was  troub- 
led,  and  fear  fell  upon  him.  But  the  angel  said  unto 

him, 

w  Fear  not,  Zacharias  :  for  thy  prayer  is  heard  ; 
And  thy  wife  Elisabeth  shall  bear  thee  a  son, 
And  thou  shalt  call  his  name  John. 
And  thou  shalt  have  joy  and  gladness  ; 
And  many  shall  rejoice  at  his  birth. 
For  he  shall  be  great  in  the  sight  of  the  Lord, 
And  shall  drink  neither  wine  nor  strong  drink  ; 

And  he  shall  be  filled  with  the  Holy  Ghost  even  from  his  mother's  womb. 
And  many  of  the  children  of  Israel  shall  he  turn  to  the  Lord  their  God. 
And  he  shall  go  before  him  in  the  spirit  and  power  of  Elias, 
To  turn  the  hearts  of  the  fathers  to  the  children, 
And  the  disobedient  to  the  wisdom  of  the  just  ; 
To  make  ready  a  people  prepared  for  the  Lord." 

And  Zacharias  said  unto  the  angel,  "  Whereby  shall  I  know  this  ?  for  I 
am  an   old    man,   and   my  wife  well  stricken  in    years."     And  the    angel

18  THE  ANNUNCIATION. 

answering  said  unto  him,  "  I  am  Gabriel,  that  stand  in  the  presence  of 
God ;  and  am  sent  to  speak  unto  thee,  and  to  show  tliee  these  glad  tld- 
ino-s.  And,  behold,  thou  shalt  be  dumb,  and  not  able  to  speak,  until  the 
dav  that  these  things  shall  be  performed,  because  thou  believest  not  my 
words,  which  shall  be  fulfilled  in  their  season." 

And  the  people  waited  for  Zacharias,  and  marveled  that  he  tarried  so 
long  in  the  temple.  And  when  he  came  out,  he  could  not  speak  unto 
them  :  and  they  perceived  that  he  had  seen  a  vision  in  the  temple ;  for  he 
beckoned  unto  them,  and  remained  speechless.  And  it  came  to  pass,  that, 
as  soon  as  the  days  of  his  ministration  were  accomplished,  he  departed  to 
his  own  house. 

And  after  those  days  his  wife  Elisabeth  conceived,  and  hid  herself 
five  months,  saying,  "Thus  hath  the  Lord  dealt  with  me  in  the  days 
wherein  he  looked  on  me,  to  take  away  my  reproach  among  men." 

And  in  the  sixth  month  the  angel  Gabriel  was  sent  from  God  unto  a  city 
of  Galilee,  named  Nazareth,  to  a  virgin  espoused  to  a  man  whose  name  was 
The  annuncia-  Joseph,  of  the  house  of  David ;  and  the  virgin's  name  was  Mary. 
And  the  angel  came  in  unto  her,  and  said,  "  Hail,  thou  that  art 
highly  favored,  the  Lord  is  with  thee  :  blessed  art  thou  among  women." 
And  when  she  saw  him,  she  was  troubled  at  his  saying,  and  cast  in  her 
mind  what  manner  of  salutation  this  should  be.  And  the  angel  said  Imto 
her,  "Fear  not,  Mary:  for  thou  hast  found  favor  with  God.  And,  behold, 
thou  shalt  conceive  in  thy  womb,  and  bring  forth  a  son,  and  shalt  call 
his  name  JESUS.  He  shall  be  great,  and  shall  be  called  the  Son  of 
the  Highest;  and  the  Lord  God  shall  give  unto  him  the  throne  of  his 
father  David.  And  he  shall  reign  over  the  house  of  Jacob  forever ; 
and  of  his  kingdom  there  shall  be  no  end." 

Then  said  Mary  unto  the  angel,  "  How  shall  this  be,  seeing  I  know 
not  a  man  ?  " 

Airct  ;tfrp  ."angel  answered  and  said  unto  her,  "The  Holy  Ghost  shall 
,comer  upon " thee,  and  the  power  of  the  Highest  shall  overshadow  thee: 
'tlle^eftke:  /51§o»  .that  holy  thing  which  shall  be  born  of  thee  shall  be  called 
the  Son  of  God.  And,  behold,  thy  cousin  Elisabeth,  she -hath  also  con 
ceived  a  son  in  her  old  age;  and  this  is  the  sixth  month  with  her,  who 
was  called  barren.  For  with  God  nothing  shall  be  impossible." 

And  Mary  said,  "Behold  the  handmaid  of  the  Lord;  be  it  unto  me 
according  to  thy  word."  And  the  angel  departed  from  her. 

And  Mary  arose  in  those  days,  and  went  into  the  hill  country  with  haste, 
into  a  city  of  Juda ;  and  entered  into  the  house  of  Zacharias,  and  saluted 
Mary  visits  Elisabeth.  And  it  came  to  pass,  that,  when  Elisabeth  heard  the 
salutation  of  Mary,  the  babe  leaped  in  her  womb ;  and  Elisa 
beth  was  filled  with  the  Holy  Ghost :  and  she  spake  out  with  a  loud  voice, 
and  said,  —

20  THE  BIRTH  OF  JOHN. 

"  Blessed  art  tliou  among1  women,  and  blessed  is  the  fruit  of  thy 
womb.  And  whence  is  this  to  me,  that  the  mother  of  my  Lord  should 
come  to  me  f  for,  lo,  as  soon  as  the  voice  of  thy  salutation  sounded  in 
mine  ears,  the  babe  leaped  in  my  womb  for  joy.  And  blessed  is  she 
that  believed :  for  there  shall  be  a  performance  of  those  thing's  which  were 
told  her  from  the  Lord." 

And  Mary  said,  — 

"  My  soul  doth  magnify  the  Lord, 
And  my  spirit  hath  rejoiced  in  God  my  Saviour. 
For  he  hath  regarded  the  low  estate  of  his  handmaiden  ; 
For,  behold,  from  henceforth  all  generations  shall  call  me  blessed. 
For  he  that  is  mighty  hath  done  to  me  great  tilings ; 
And  holy  is  his  name. 
And  his  mercy  is  on  them  that  fear  him 
From  generation  to  generation. 
He  hath  showed  strength  with  his  arm ; 

He  hath  scattered  the  proud  in  the  imagination  of  their  hearts. 
He  hath  put  down  the  mighty  from  their  seats, 
And  exalted  them  of  low  degree. 
He  hath  filled  the  hungry  with  good  things ; 
And  the  rich  he  hath  sent  empty  away. 
He  hath  holpen  his  servant  Israel, 
In  remembrance  of  his  mercy ; 
As  he  spake  to  our  fathers, 
To  Abraham,  and  to  his  seed  forever." 

And  Mary  abode  with  her  about  three  months,  and  returned  to  her  own 
house. 

Now  Elisabeth's  full  time  came  that  she  should  be  delivered;  and  she 
brought  forth  a  son.  And  her  neighbors  and  her  cousins  heard  how  the 
The  birth  and  Lord  had  showed  great  mercy  upon  her;  and  they  rejoiced  with 

circumcision  of  J        1  J         J 

her.  And  it  came  to  pass,  that  on  the  eighth  day  they  came  to 
circumcise  the  child ;  and  they  called  him  Zacharias,  after  the  name  of  his 
father. 

And  his  mother  answered  and  said,  "  Not  so ;  but  he  shall  be  called 
John."  And  they  said  unto  her,  "  There  is  none  of  thy  kindred  that  is 

called  by  this  name." 

And  they  made  signs  to  his  father,  how 
he  would  have  him  called.  And  he  asked 
for  a  writing-table,  and  wrote,  saying, 
"  His  name  is  John."  And  they  mar 
veled  all.  And  his  mouth  was  opened 
immediately,  and  his  tongue  loosed,  and 
he  spake  and  praised  God.  And  fear 
came  on  all  that  dwelt  round  about  them:  and  all  these  sayings  were

noised  abroad  throughout  all  the  hill  country  of  Judaea.  And  all  they  that 
heard  them  laid  them  up  in  their  hearts,  saying,  "  AVhat  manner  of  child 
shall  this  be  1 "  And  the  hand  of  the  Lord  was  with  him. 

And  his  father  Zacharias  was  filled  with  the  Holy  Ghost,  and 

Zacharias  proph-  J 

prophesied,  saying,  — 

"  Blessed  be  the  Lord  God  of  Israel ; 
For  he  hath  visited  and  redeemed  his  people, 
And  hath  raised  up  an  horn  of  salvation  for  us 
In  the  house  of  his  servant  David ; 
As  he  spake  by  the  mouth  of  his  holy  prophets, 
Which  have  been  since  the  world  began  : 
That  we  should  be  saved  from  our  enemies, 
And  from  the  hand  of  all  that  hate  vis  ; 
To  perform  the  mercy  promised  to  our  fathers, 
And  to  remember  his  holy  covenant, 
The  oath  which  lie  sware  to  our  father  Abraham, 
That  he  would  grant  unto  us, 

That  we,  being  delivered  out  of  the  hand  of  our  enemies, 
Might  serve  him  without  fear, 
In  holiness  and  righteousness  before  him, 
All  the  days  of  our  life. 

And  thou,  child,  shalt  be  called  the  prophet  of  the  Highest : 
For  thou  shalt  go  before  the  face  of  the  Lqrd  to  prepare  his  ways ; 
To  give  knowledge  of  salvation  unto  his  people 
By  the  remission  of  their  sins, 
Through  the  tender  mercy  of  our  God  ; 
Whereby  the  day-spring  from  on  high  hath  visited  us, 
To  give  light  to  them  that  sit  in  darkness  and  in  the  shadow  of  death, 
To  guide  our  feet  into  the  way  of  peace." 

And  the  child  grew  and  waxed  strong  in  spirit,  and  was  in  the  deserts  till 
the  day  of  his  showing  unto  Israel. 


C II  A  P  T  E  R    II. 

THE    NATIVITY   AND   PRESENTATION    IN   THE  TEMPLE. 

the  birth  of  Jesus  Christ  was  on  this  wise :  When  as  his 
mother  Mary  was  espoused  to  Joseph,  before  they  came 
together,  she  was  found  with  child  of  the  Holy 

"*      Joseph's  dream. 

Ghost.     Then  Joseph  her  husband,  being  a  just 

man,  and  not  willing  to  make  her  a  public  example,  was 

minded  to  put  her  away  privily. 

But  while  he  thought  on  these  things,  behold,  the  angel  of  the  Lord 
appeared  unto  him  in  a  dream,  saying,  "Joseph,  thou  son  of  David,  fear 
not  to  take  unto  thee  Mary  thy  wife :  for  that  which  is  conceived  in  her  is 
of  the  Holy  Ghost.  And  she  shall  bring  forth  a  son,  and  thou  shall  call  his 
name  JESUS  :  for  he  shall  save  his  people  from  their  sins." 

Now  all  this  was  done,  that  it  might  be  fulfilled  which  was  spoken  of  the 
Lord  by  the  prophet,  saying,  "  Behold,  a  virgin  shall  be  with  child,  and 
shall  bring  forth  a  son,  and  they  shall  call  his  name  Emmanuel,"  which 
being  interpreted  is,  "  God  with  us." 

Then  Joseph,  being  raised  from  sleep,  did  as  the  angel  of  the  Lord  had 
bidden  him,  and  took  unto  him  his  wife  :  and  knew  her  not  till  she  had 
brought  forth  her  first-born  son. 

And  it  came  to  pass  in  those  days,  that  there  went  out  a  decree  from 
Caesar  Augustus,  that  all  the  world  should  be  taxed.  (And  this  taxing 
was  first  made  when  Cyrenius  was  governor  of  Syria.)  And  Joeeph  and 
all  went  to  be  taxed,  every  one  into  his  own  city.  And  Jo- 


seph  also  went  up  from  Galilee,  out  of  the  city  of  Nazareth, 
into  Judaea,  unto   the  city  of  David,  which  is  called  Bethlehem  (because 
he   was  of  the  house  and  lineage  of  David),  to  be  taxed  with  Mary  his 
espoused  wife,  being  great  with  child. 

And  so  it  was  that,  while  they  were  there,  the  days  were  accomplished 
that  she  should  be  delivered.     And  she  brought  forth  her  first-  .0^^^ 
born  son,  and  wrapped  him  in  swaddling-clothes,  and  laid  him  J 
in  a  manger  ;  because  there  was  no  room  for  them  in  the  inn. 

And  there  were  in  the  same  country  shepherds  abiding  in  the  field,  keep-

ing  watch  over  their  flock  by  night.     And,  lo,  the  angel  of  the  Lord  came 
upon  them,  and  the  srlory  of  the  Lord  shone  round  about  them ; 

The  angels  and  •> 

the  shepherds.  an(j  they  were  sore  afraid.  And  the  angel  said  unto  them, 
"  Fear  not ;  for,  behold,  I  bring  you  good  tidings  of  great  joy,  which  shall 
be  to  all  people.  For  unto  you  is  born  this  day  in  the  city  of  David  a 
Saviour,  which  is  Christ  the  Lord.  And  this  shall  be  a  sign  unto  you :  Ye 
shall  find  the  babe  wrapped  in  swaddling-clothes,  lying  in  a  manger." 

And  suddenly  there  was  with  the  angel  a  multitude  of  the  heavenly  host 
praising  God,  and  saying, 

"  Glory  to  God  in  the  highest, 
And  on  earth  peace,  good-will  toward  men." 

And  it  came  to  pass,  as  the  angels  were  gone  away  from  them  into 
heaven,  the  shepherds  said  one  to  another,  "  Let  us  now  go  even  unto 
Bethlehem,  and  see  this  thing  which  is  come  to  pass,  which  the  Lord  hath 
made  known  unto  us." 

And  they  came  with  haste,  and  found  Mary,  and  Joseph,  and  the  babe 
lying  in  a  manger.  And  when  they  had  seen  it,  they  made  known  abroad 
The  shepherds  the  saying-  which  was  told  them  concerning1  this  child.  And  all 

find  Jesus  in  a  11  T     .  i  i  •  •  -IT 

manger.  they  that  heard  it  wondered  at  those  tilings  which  were  told 

them  by  the  shepherds.  But  Mary  kept  all  these  things,  and  pondered 
them  in  her  heart.  And  the  shepherds  returned,  glorifying  and  praising 
God  for  all  the  things  that  they  had  heard  and  seen,  as  it  was  told  unto 
them. 

And  when  eight  days  were  accomplished  for  the  circumcising  of  the 
Jesus  is  circum-  child,  his  name  was  called  JESUS,  which  was  so  named  of  the 

angel  before  he  was  conceived  in  the  womb. 

And  when  the  days  of  her  purification  according  to  the  law  of  Moses 
were  accomplished,  they  brought  him  to  Jerusalem,  to  present  him  to  the 
Jesus  is  presented  Lord ;  (as  it  is  written  in  the  law  of  the  Lord,  "  Every  male 
that  openeth  the  womb  shall  be  called  holy  to  the  Lord  " ;)  and 
to  offer  a  sacrifice  according  to  that  which  is  said  in  the  law  of  the  Lord, 
"A  pair  of  turtle-doves,  or  two  young  pigeons." 

And,  behold,  there  was  a  man  in  Jerusalem,  whose  name  was  Simeon ; 
and  the  same  man  was  just  and  devout,  waiting  for  the  consolation  of 
Simeon  prophe-  Israel :  and  the  Holy  Ghost  was  upon  him.  And  it  was  re 
vealed  unto  him  by  the  Holy  Ghost,  that  he  should  not  see 
death,  before  he  had  seen  the  Lord's  Christ.  And  he  came  by  the  Spirit 
into  the  temple :  and  when  the  parents  brought  in  the  child  Jesus,  to  do 
for  him  after  the  custom  of  the  law,  then  took  he  him  up  in  his  arms,  and 
blessed  God,  and  said,  "  Lord,  now  lettest  thou  thy  servant  depart  in  peace, 
according  to  thy  word :  for  mine  eyes  have  seen  thy  salvation,  which  thou

hast  prepared  before  the  face  of  all  people ;  a  light  to  lighten  the  Gentiles, 
and  the  glory  of  thy  people  Israel." 

And  Joseph  and  his  mother  marveled  at  those  things  which  were  spoken 
of  him.  And  Simeon  blessed  them,  and  said  unto  Mary  his  mother,  "  Be 
hold,  this  child  is  set  for  the  fall  and  rising  again  of  many  in  Israel ;  and  for 
a  sign  which  shall  be  spoken  against ;  (yea,  a  sword  shall  pierce  through 
thy  own  soul  also ;)  that  the  thoughts  of  many  hearts  may  be  revealed." 

And  there  was  one  Anna,  a  prophetess,  the  daughter  of  Phanuel,  of  the 
tribe  of  Aser :  she  was  of  a  great  age,  and  had  lived  with  an  husband  seven 
years  from  her  virginity ;  and  she  was  a  widow  of  about  four-

score  and  lour  years,  which  departed  not  from  the  temple,  but 
served  God  with  fastings  and  prayers  night  and  day.     And  she  coming  in 
that  instant  gave  thanks  likewise  unto  the  Lord,  and  spake  of  him  to  all 
them  that  looked  for  redemption  in  Jerusalem. 


CHAPTER    III. 


INFANCY   AND   EARLY   LIFE  OF  JESUS. 


OW  when  Jesus  was  born  in  Bethlehem  of  Judaea  in  the 
days  of  Herod  the    king,   behold,   there   came  wise  men  from 
)*.    wise  men  from  the  East  to  Jerusalem,  saying,  J««w- 
&    "Where  is  he  that   is  born  King  of  the  Jews!    for   we 
[^    have  seen  his  star  in  the  east,  and  are  come  to  worship 

him." 

When  Herod  the  king  had  heard  these  things,  he  was  troubled,  and  all 
Jerusalem  with  him.  And  when  he  had  gathered  all  the  chief  priests  and 
scribes  of  the  people  together,  he  demanded  of  them  where  Christ  should 
be  born.  And  they  said  unto  him,  "  In  Bethlehem,  of  Jiuhva  :  for  thus  it 
is  written  by  the  prophet,  'And  thou  Bethlehem,  in  the  land  of  Juda,  art 
not  the  least  among  the  princes  of  Juda : 
for  out  of  thee  shall  come  a  Governor 
that  shall  rule  my  people  Israel.' ' 

Then  Herod,  when  he  had  privily  called 
the  wise  men,  inquired  of  them  diligent 
ly  what  time  the  star  appeared.  And  he 
sent  them  to  Bethlehem,  and  said,  "  Go 
and  search  diligently  for  the  young  child  ; 
and  when  ye  have  found  him,  bring  me 
word  again,  that  I  may  come  and  worship 
him  also."  When  they  had  heard  the 
king,  they  departed  ;  and,  lo,  the  star, 
which  they  saw  in  the  east,  went  before 
them,  till  it  came  and  stood  over  where 
the  young  child  was.  When  they  saw 
the  star,  they  rejoiced  with  exceeding 
great  joy.  And  when  they  were  come  into  the  house,  they  saw  the 
young  child  with  Mary  his  mother,  and  fell  down,  and  worshiped 
liini  :  and  when  they  had  opened  their  treasures,  they  pro-  h»" 
sented  unto  him  gifts;  gold,  and  frankincense,  and  myrrh.  And  being

warned  of  God  in  a  dream  that  they  should  not  return  to  Herod,  they 
departed  into  their  own  country  another  way. 

And  when  they  were  departed,  behold,  the  angel  of  the  Lord  appeared] 
to  Joseph  in  a  dream,  saying,   "Arise,  and  take  the  young  child  and  his 
mother,  and  flee  into  Egypt,  and  be  them  there  until  I  bring  thee  The  night  into 
word :    for  Herod  will  seek   the   young  child   to   destroy  him." 
When  he  arose,   he  took  the  young  child  and  his  mother  by  night,  and 
departed  into  Egypt ;    and  was  there  until  the  death  of  Herod :    that  it 
might  be  fulfilled  which  was  spoken  of  the  Lord  by  the  prophet,  saying, 
"Out  of  Egypt  have  I  called  my  Son." 

Then  Herod,  when  he  saw  that  he  was  mocked  of  the  wise  men,  was 
exceeding  wroth,  and  sent  forth,  and  slew  all  the  children  that  were  in 
Bethlehem,  and  in  all  the  coasts  thereof,  from  two  years  old  and  The  slaughter 

.  of  the  young 

under,  according  to  the  time  which  he  had  diligently  inquired  of  children, 
the  wise  men.     Then  was  fulfilled  that  which  was  spoken  by  Jeremy  the 
prophet,    saying,    "  In    Kama   was  there  a  voice   heard,  lamentation,    and 
weeping,  and  great  mourning,  Rachel  weeping  for  her  children,  and  would 
not  be  comforted,  because  they  are  not." 

But  when  Herod  was  dead,  behold,  an  angel  of  the  Lord  appeareth  in  a 
dream  to  Joseph  in  Egypt,  saying,  "Arise,  and  take  the  young  ^t^™ 
child  and  his  mother,  and  go  into  the  land  of  Israel :  for  they  are 
dead  which  sought  the  young  child's  life." 

And  he  arose,  and  took  the  young  child  and  his  mother,  and  came  into 
the  land  of  Israel.  But  when  he  heard  that  Archelaus  did  reign  in  Judaea 
in  the  room  of  his  father  Herod,  he  was  afraid  to  go  thither:  notwithstand 
ing,  bein<r  warned  of  God  in  a  dream,  he  turned  aside  into  the  parts  of 

O'  O  l 

Galilee ;  and  he  came  and  dwelt  in  their  own  city,.  Nazareth :  that  it  might 
be  fulfilled  which  was  spoken  by  the  prophets,  "  He  shall  be  called  a 
Xazarene." 

And  the  child  grew,  and  waxed  strong  in  spirit,  filled  with  wisdom ;  and 
the  grace  of  God  was  upon  him. 

Now  his  parents  went  to  Jerusalem  every  year  at  the  feast  of  the  pass- 
over.  And  when  he  was  twelve  years  old,  they  went  up  to  Jerusalem  after 
the  custom  of  the  feast.  And  when  they  had  fulfilled  the  days,  Je8Ull  convenet 
as  they  returned,  the  child  Jesus  tarried  behind  in  Jerusalem;  to'Ainthetem-

and  Joseph  and  his  mother  knew  not  of  it.  But  they,  supposing 
him  to  have  been  in  the  company,  went  a  day's  journey ;  and  they  sought 
him  among  their  kinsfolk  and  acquaintance.  And  when  they  found  him 
not,  they  turned  back  again  to  Jerusalem,  seeking  him.  And  it  came  to 
pass,  that  after  three  days  they  found  him  in  the  temple,  sitting  in  the 
midst  of  the  doctors,  both  hearing  them,  and  asking  them  questions.  And 
all  that  heard  him  were  astonished  at  his  understanding  and  answers.  And

when  they  saw  him,  they  were  amazed:  and  liis  mother  snid  unto  him, 
"Son,  why  hast  thou  thus  dealt  with  us?  behold,  thy  father  and  I  have 
Bought  thee  sorrowing." 

And  he  said  unto  them,   '  How  is  it  that  ye  sought  me  ?  wist  ye  not  that 
I    must  he  about  my   Father's  business?"      And  they  understood   not  the 

saving  which  he  spake  unto  them.

And  he  went  down  with  them,  and  came  to  Nazareth,  and   was  subject

CHAPTER    IV, 


THE  VOICE   IX   THE  WILDERNESS. 


in  the  fifteenth  year  of  the  reign  of  Tiberius  Caesar, 
Pontius  Pilate  being  governor  of  Judaea,  and  Herod  being 
tetrarch  of  Galilee,  and  his  brother  Philip  tetrarch  of 
Tturea  and  of  the  region  of  Trachonitis,  and  Lysanias  the 
tetrarch  of  Abilene,  Annas  and  Caiaphas  being  the  high- 
priests,  the  word  of  God  came  unto  John  the  Baptist,  the 
son  of  Zacharias,  in  the  wilderness.  And  he  came  into  all  the  John  the  Baptist 

.  preaches  in  the 

country  about  Jordan,  preaching  the  baptism  of  repentance  for  wilderness. 
the  remission  of  sins ;  saying,  "  Repent  ye,  for  the  kingdom  of  heaven  is  at 
hand";  as  it  is  written  in  the  prophets,  "Behold,  I  send  my  messenger 
before  thy  face,  which  shall  prepare  thy  way  before  thee."  "  The  voice  of 
one  crying  in  the  wilderness,  '  Prepare  ye  the  way  of  the  Lord,  make  his 
paths  straight.'  Every  valley  shall  be  filled,  and  every  mountain  and  hill 
shall  be  brought  low  ;  and  the  crooked  shall  be  made  straight,  and  the 
rough  ways  shall  be  made  smooth ;  and  all  flesh  shall  see  the  salvation  of 
God." 

And  the  same  John  had 
his  raiment  of  camel's  hair, 
and  a  leathern  girdle  about 
his  loins;  and  his  meat  was 
locusts  and  wild  honey. 

Then  went  out  to  him  Je

all  the  region  round  about 
Jordan,  and  were  baptized

many  of  the  Pharisees  and 
Sadducees  come  to  his  bap 
tism,  he  said  unto  them,  "  O

which  bringeth  not  forth  good  fruit  is  hewn  down,  and  cast  into  the  fire." 

And   the   people   asked   him,   saying,    "What   shall   we   do   then  f "      He 
answereth  and  saitli  unto  them,  "Ho  that  hath  two  coats,  let  HoMhorutho

let  him  do  likewise."     Then  came  also  publicans  to  be  baptized,  and  said 
unto  him,  "Master,  what  shall  we  do!"     And  lie  said  unto  them,  "  Exact 
no  more  than  that  which  is  appointed  you."

And  as  the  people  were  in  expectation,  and  all  men  mused  in  their  hearts 
of  John,  whether  he  were  the  Christ,  or  not;  John  answered,  saying  unto 
them  all,  UI  indeed  baptize  you  with  water;  but  one  mightier  ,

THE  BAPTISM   AND   TEMPTATION   OF  JESUS. 

Jesus  himself  began  to  be  about  thirty  years  of  age. 

J    J 

Then  cometh  Jesus  from  Nazareth  of  Galilee  to  Jordan 
unto  John,  to  be  baptized  of  him.  But  John  forbade 
him,  saying,  "I  have  need  to  be  baptized  of  thee,  and 
comest  them  to  me  ?  " 

And  Jesus  answering-  said  unto  him,  "  Suffer  it  to  be 
so  now  :  for  thus  it  becometh  us  to  fulfill  all  righteousness."  Then  he 
suffered  him. 

And  Jesus,  when  he  was  baptized,  went  up  straightway  out  of  the  water : 
and,  lo,  the  heavens  were  opened  unto  him,  and  he  saw  the  Spirit  of  God

loved  Son,  in  whom  I  am  well  pleased." 

And  Jesus  being  full  of  the  Holy  Ghost  returned  from  Jordan,  and  was 
jesus  is  tempted  le(l  ^7  ^ie  Spirit  into  the  wilderness,  being  forty  days  tempted 
of  the  Devil ;  and  was  with  the  wild  beasts.  And  in  those 
days  he  did  eat  nothing :  and  when  they  were  ended,  he  afterward  hun 
gered. 

And  the  Devil  said  unto  him,  "  If  tlioti.be  the  Son  of  God,  command  this 
stone  that  it  be  made  bread."  And  Jesus  answered  him,  saying,  "It  is 
written,  '  That  man  shall  not  live  by  bread  alone,  but  by  every  word  of 
God.'"  And  he  brought  him  to  Jerusalem,  and  set  him  on  a  pinnacle 
of  the  temple,  and  said  unto  him,  "  If  thou  be  the  Son  of  God,  cast  thyself 
down  from  hence :  for  it  is  written,  '  He  shall  give  his  angels  charge  over 
thee,  to  keep  thee :  and  in  their  hands  they  shall  bear  thee  up,  lest  at  any 
time  thou  dash  thy  foot  against  a  stone.' "  And  Jesus  answering  said  unto 
him,  "It  is  said,  'Thou  shalt  not  tempt  the  Lord  thy  God.'"  And  the 
Devil,  taking  him  up  into  an  high  mountain,  showed  unto  him  all  the  king 
doms  of  the  world  in  a  moment  of  time.  And  the  Devil  said  unto  him,  "  All 
tliis  power  will  I  give  thee,  and  the  glory  of  them :  for  that  is  delivered 
unto  me;  and  to  whomsoever  I  will  I  give  it.  If  thou  therefore  wilt  worship

me,  all  shall  be  thine."  And  Jesus  answered  and  said  unto  him,  "  Get  thee 
behind  me,  Satan :  for  it  is  written,  '  Thou  shalt  worship  the  Lord  thy  God, 
and  him  only  shalt  thou  serve.' " 

And  when  the  Devil  had  ended  all  the  temptation,  he  departed  from  him 
for  a  season.  And,  behold,  angels  came  and  ministered  unto  him. 

And  this  is  the  record  of  John,  when  the  Jews  sent  priests  and 

John  testifies 

Levites  from  Jerusalem  to  ask  him,  "Who  art  thou?"  And  he 
confessed,  and  denied  not ;  but  confessed,  "I  am  not  the  Christ."  And 
they  asked  him,  "What  then?  Art  thou  Elias!"  And  he  said,  "I  am 
not."  "Art  thou  that  prophet!"  And  he  answered,  "No."  Then  said 
they  unto  him,  "Who  art  thou  I  that  we  may  give  an  answer  to  them  that 
sent  us.  What  sayest  thou  of  thyself!  "  He  said,  "  T  am  the  voice  of  one 
crying  in  the  wilderness,  '  Make  straight  the  way  of  the  Lord,'  as  said  the 
prophet  Esaias." 

And  they  which  were  sent  were  of  the  Pharisees.  And  they  asked  him, 
and  said  unto  him,  "  Why  baptizest  thou  then,  if  thou  be  not  that  Christ, 
nor  Elias,  neither  that  prophet?" 

John  answered  them,  saying,  "I  baptize  with  water:  but  there  standeth 
one  among  you,  whom  ye  know  not ;  he  it  is,  who  coming  after  me  is  pre 
ferred  before  me,  whose  shoe's  latchet  I  am  not  worthy  to  unloose." 

These  things  were  done  in  Bethabara  beyond  Jordan,  where  John  was 
baptizing. 

The  next  day  John  seetli  Jesus  coming  unto  him,  and  saith,  "  Behold  the 
Lamb  of  God,  which  taketh  away  the  sin  of  the  world !  This  is  he  of 
whom  I  said,  '  After  me  cometh  a  man  which  is  preferred  before  me ;  for 
he  was  before  me.'  And  I  knew  him  not :  but  that  he  should  be  made 
manifest  to  Israel,  therefore  am  I  come  baptizing  with  water." 

And  John  bare  record,  saying,  "I  saw  the  Spirit  descending  from  heaven 
like  a  dove,  and  it  abode  upon  him.  And  I  knew  him  not:  but  he  that 
sent  me  to  baptize  with  water,  the  same  said  unto  me,  *  Upon  whom  thou 
shalt  see  the  Spirit  descending,  and  remaining  on  him,  the  same  is  he 
which  baptizeth  with  the  Holy  Ghost.'  And  I  saw,  and  bare  record  that 
this  is  the  Son  of  God." 

Again,  the  next  day  after,  John  stood,  and  two  of  his  disciples ;  and 
looking  upon  Jesus  as  he  walked,  he  saith,  "  Behold  the  Lamb  of  God ! " 
TWO  of  John's  And  the  two  disciples  heard  him  speak,  and  they  followed

He  saith  unto  them,   "  Come  and  see."

And  Nathanael  said  unto  him,  "Can  there  any  good  thing  come  out  of

Philip  saith  unto  him,   "  Come  and  see." 

Jesus  saw  Nathanael  coming  to  him,  and  saith  of  him,  "  Behold  an  Israel 
ite  indeed,  in  whom  is  no  guile  ! " 

Nathanael  saith  unto  him,   "Whence  knowest  thou  me?" 

Jesus  answered  and  said  unto  him,  "  Before  that  Philip  called  thee,  when 
thou  wast  under  the  fig-tree,  I  saw  thee." 

Nathanael  answered  and  saith  unto  him,  "  Rabbi,  thou  art  the  Son  of 
God ;  thou  art  the  King  of  Israel." 

Jesus  answered  and  said  unto  him,  "Because  I  said  unto  thee,  I  saw  thee 
under  the  fig-tree,  believest  thou  ?  thou  shalt  see  greater  things  than  these." 
And  he  saith  unto  him,  "  Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  you,  Hereafter  ye  shall 
see  heaven  open,  and  the  angels  of  God  ascending  and  descending  upon  the

EARLY   MINISTRY. 

the  third  day  there  was  a  marriage  in  Cana  of  Galilee ; 
and  the  mother  of  Jesus  was  there:  and  both  Jesus  was 
called,  and  his  disciples,  to  the  marriage.

Ilis  mother  saith  unto  the  servants,  "Whatsoever  he  saith  unto  you, 
do  it." 

And  there  were  set  there  six  water-pots  of  stone,  after  the  manner  of  the 
purifying  of  the  Jews,  containing  two  or  three  firkins  apiece. 

"  Jesus  turns  wa- 

Jesus  saith  unto  them,   "Fill  the  water-pots  with  water."     And  ' 

they  filled  them  to  the  brim.     And  he  saith  unto  them,   "  Draw  out  now, 

and  bear  unto  the  governor  of  the  feast." 

And  they  bare  it.  When  the  ruler  of  the  feast  had  tasted  the  water  that 
was  made  wine,  and  knew  not  whence  it  was  (but  the  servants  which  drew 
the  water  knew),  the  governor  of  the  feast  called  the  bridegroom,  and  saith 
unto  him,  "Every  man  at  the  beginning  doth  set  forth  good  wine;  and 
when  men  have  well  drunk,  then  that  which  is  worse :  but  thou  hast  kept 
the  good  wine  until  now." 

This  beginning  of  miracles  did  Jesus  in  Cana  of  Galilee,  and  manifested 
forth  his  glory ;  and  his  disciples  believed  on  him. 

After  this  he  went  down  to  Capernaum,   he,   and  his  mother,   and  his 
brethren,  and  his  disciples;  and  they  continued  there  not  many  8qjoBnM y,  ^ 
days.     And  the  Jews'  passover  was  at  hand,  and  Jesus  went  up  r 
to  Jerusalem,  and  found  in  the  temple  those  that  sold  oxen  and  sheep  and 
doves,  and  the  changers  of  money  sitting;    and  when  he  had  cleaMesthe 
made  a  scourge  of  small  cords,  he  drove  them  all  out  of  the  * 
temple,  and  the  sheep,  and  the  oxen ;  and  poured  out  the  changers'  money, 
and  overthrew  the  tables ;  and  said  unto  them  that  sold  doves,  "  Take  these 
things  hence  ;'  make  not  my  Father's  house  a  house  of  merchandise."     And

his  disciples  remembered  that  it  was  written,  "  The  zeal  of  thine  house  hath 
eaten  me  up." 

Then  answered  the  Jews  and  said  unto  him,  "  What  sign  showest  thou 
unto  us,  seeing'  that  thou  'doest  these  things  f  " 

Jesus  answered  and  saijl  unto  them,  "  Destroy  this  temple,  and  in  three 
days  I  will  raise  it  up." 

Then  said  the  Jews,  "  Forty-and-six  years  was  this  temple  in  building, 
and  wilt  thou  rear  it  up  in  three  days?" 

But  he  spake  of  the  temple  of  his  body.  When  therefore  he  was  risen 
from  the  dead,  his  disciples  remembered  that  he  had  said  this  unto  them ; 
and  they  believed  the  scripture,  and  the  word  which  Jesus  had  said. 

Now  when  he  was  in  Jerusalem  at  the  passover,  in  the  feast-day,  many 
believed  in  his  name,  when  they  saw  the  miracles  which  he  did.  But  Jesus 
did  not  commit  himself  unto  them,  because  he  knew  all  men,  and  needed 
not  that  any  should  testify  of  man  :  for  he  knew  what  was  in  man. 

There   was  a  man  of  the   Pharisees,  named  Nicodemus,  a  ruler  of  the 
Jews :  the  same  came  to  Jesus  by  night,  and  said  unto  him,  u  Rabbi,  we 
know  that  thou  art  a  teacher  come  from  God:  for  no  man  can  Talkg with Nico_ 
do  these  miracles  that  thou  doest,  except  God  be  with  him." 

Jesus  answered  and  said  unto  him,  "  Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  thee, 
Except  a  man  be  born  again,  he  cannot  see  the  kingdom  of  God." 

Nicodemus  saith  unto  him,  "  How  can  a  man  be  born  when  he  is  old  ? 
Can  he  enter  the  second  time  into  his  mother's  womb,  and  be  born  ?  " 

Jesus  answered,  "  Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  thee,  Except  a  man  be  born 
of  water  and  of  the  Spirit,  he  cannot  enter  into  the  kingdom  of  God.  That 
which  is  born  of  the  flesh  is  flesh ;  and  that  which  is  born  of  the  Spirit  is 
spirit.  Marvel  not  that  I  said  unto  thee,  Ye  must  be  born  again.  The 
wind  bloweth  where  it  listeth,  and  thou  hearest  the  sound  thereof,  but  canst 
not  tell  whence  it  cometh,  and  whither  it  goeth :  so  is  every  one  that  is 
born  of  the  Spirit." 

Nicodemus  answered  and  said  unto  him,  "  How  can  these  things  be? " 

Jesus  answered  and  said  unto  him,  "Art  thou  a  master  of  Israel,  and 
knowest  not  these  things  I  Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  thee,  We  speak  that 
we  do  know,  and  testify  that  we  have  seen;  and  ye  receive  not* our  wit 
ness.  If  I  have  told  you  earthly  things,  and  ye  believe  not,  how  shall  ye 
believe,  if  I  tell  you  of  heavenly  things  'I  And  no  man  hath  ascended  up  to 
heaven,  but  he  that  came  down  from  heaven,  even  the  Son  of  man  which  is 
in  heaven.  And  as  Moses  lifted  up  the  serpent  in  the  wilderness,  even  so 
must  the  Son  of  man  be  lifted  up :  that  whosoever  believeth  in  him  should 
not  perish,  but  have  eternal  life.  For  God  so  loved  the  world,  that  he  gave 
his  only  begotten  Son,  that  whosoever  believeth  in  him  should  not  perish, 
but  have  everlasting-  life.  For  God  sent  not  his  Son  into  the  world  to

condemn  the  world;  but  that  the  world  through  him  might  be  saved.  He 
that  believeth  on  him  is  not  condemned :  but  he  that  believeth  not  is  con 
demned  already,  because  he  hath  not  believed  in  the  name  of  the  only 
begotten  Son  of  God.  And  this  is  the  condemnation,  that  light  is  come 
into  the  world,  and  men  loved  darkness  rather  than  light,  because  their 
deeds  were  evil.  For  every  one  that  doeth  evil  hateth  the  light,  neither 
cometh  to  the  light,  lest  his  deeds  should  be  reproved.  But  he  that 
doeth  truth  cometh  to  the  light,  that  his  deeds  may  be  made  manifest, 
that  they  are  wrought  in  God." 

After  these  things  came  Jesus  and  his  disciples  into  the  land  of  Juda?a ; 
and  there  he  tarried  with  them,  and  baptized.     And  John  also  was  bap 
tizing  in  ^Enon,  near  to  Salim,  because  there  was  much  water  R^^,  ^to 
there :  and  they  came,  and  were  baptized.     For  John  was  not  Jud 
yet  cast  into  prison. 

Then  there  arose  a  question  between  some  of  John's  disciples  and  the 
Jews  about  purifying.  And  they  came  unto  John,  and  said  unto  him, 
"  Rabbi,  he  that  was  with  thee  beyond  Jordan,  to  whom  thou  bearest 
witness,  behold,  the  same  baptizeth,  and  all  men  come  to  him." 

John  answered  and  said,  u  A  man  can  receive  nothing,  except  it  be  given 
him  from  heaven.  Ye  yourselves  bear  me  witness,  that  I  said,  The  answer  of

seal  that  God  is  true.  For  he  whom  God  hath  sent  speaketh  the  words 
of  God :  for  God  giveth  not  the  Spirit  by  measure  unto  him.  The  Father 
loveth  the  Son,  and  hath  given  all  things  into  his  hand.  He  that  believeth 
on  the  Son  hath  everlasting  life ;  and  he  that  believeth  not  the  Son  shall 
not  see  life ;  but  the  wrath  of  God  abideth  on  him." 


CHAPTER    VII. 


IN   SAMAEIA  AND   GALILEE. 

y 

!HEN  therefore  the  Lord  knew  how  the  Pharisees  had 
heard  that  Jesus  made  and  baptized  more  disciples  than 
John  (though  Jesus  himself  baptized  not,  but  his  dis 
ciples),  he  left  Judaea,  and  departed  again  into  Galilee. 
And  he  must  needs  go  through  Samaria.  Then  cometh 

he  to  a  city  of  Samaria,   which  is  called  Sychar,  near  to   the   parcel   of 

ground  that  Jacob  gave  to  his  son  Joseph.     Now  Jacob's  well  was  there. 

Jesus  therefore,  being  wearied  with  his  journey,  sat  thus  011  the  well  :  and 

it  was  about  the  sixth  hour. 

There  cometh  a  woman  of  Samaria  to  draw  water  :    Jesus  saith  unto  her, 

jesus  talks         "  Give  me  to  drink."     (For  his  disciples  were  gone  away  unto 

with,  a  Samari- 

tan  woman.         the  city  to  buy  meat) 

Then  saith  the  woman  of  Samaria  unto  him,  "  How  is  it  that  thou,  being 
a  Jew,  askest  drink  of  me,  which  am  a  woman  of  Samaria  ?  for  the  Jews 
have  no  dealings  with  the  Samaritans." 

Jesus  answered  and  said  unto  her,  "  If  thou  knewest  the  gift  of  God,  and 
who  it  is  that  saith  to  thee,  Give  me  to  drink  ;  thou  wouldst  have  asked  of 
him,  and  he  would  have  given  thee  living  water." 

The  woman  saith  unto  him,  "  Sir,  thou  hast  nothing  to  draw  with,  and 
the  well  is  deep  :  from  whence  then  hast  thou  that  living  water  ?  Art  thou 
greater  than  our  father  Jacob,  which  gave  us  the  well,  and  drank  thereof 
himself,  and  his  children,  and  his  cattle  ?  " 

Jesus  answered  and  said  unto  her,  "  Whosoever  drinketh  of  this  water 
shall  thirst  again  ;  but  whosoever  drinketh  of  the  water  that  I  shall  give 
him  shall  never  thirst  ;  but  the  water  that  I  shall  give  him  shall  be  in  him 
a  well  of  water  springing  up  into  everlasting  life." 

The  woman  saith  unto  him,  "  Sir,  give  me  this  water,  that  I  thirst  not, 
neither  come  hither  to  draw." 

Jesus  saith  unto  her,   "  Go,   call  thy  husband,  and  come  hither." 

The  woman  answered  and  said,   "  I  have  no  husband." 

Jesus  saith  unto  her,  "  Thou  hast  well  said,  I  have  no  husband  :  for  thou

48  JESUS   TALKS    WITH  THE  SAMARITAN   WOMAN. 

hast  had  five  husbands ;  and  he  whom  thou  now  hast  is  not  thy  husband : 
in  that  saidst  thou  truly." 

The  woman  saith  unto  him,  "  Sir,  I  perceive  that  thou  art  a  prophet. 
Our  fathers  worshiped  in  this  mountain ;  and  ye  say  that  in  Jerusalem  is 
the  place  where  men  ought  to  worship." 

Jesus  saith  unto  her,  "  Woman,  believe  me,  the  hour  cometh,  when  ye 
shall  neither  in  this  mountain  nor  yet  at  Jerusalem  worship  the  Father, 
Ye  worship  ye  know  not  what :  we  know  what  we  worship ;  for  salvation 
is  of  the  Jews.  But  the  hour  cometh,  and  now  is,  when  the  true  worship 
ers  shall  worship  the  Father  in  spirit  and  in  truth :  for  the  Father  seeketh 
such  to  worship  him.  God  is  a  Spirit :  and  they  that  worship  him  must 
worship  him  in  spirit  and  in  truth." 

The  woman  saith  unto  him,  "  I  know  that  Messias  cometh,  which  is 
called  Christ ;  when  he  is  come,  he  will  tell  us  all  things." 

Jesus  saith  unto  her,   "  I  that  speak  unto  thee  am  he." 

And  upon  this  came  his  disciples,  and  marveled  that  he  talked  with  the 
woman:  yet  no  man  said,  "What  seekest  thou  I "  or,  "  Why  talkest  thou 
with  her  ?  " 

The  woman  then  left  her  water-pot,  and  went  her  way  into  the  city,  and 
saith  to  the  men,  "Come,  see  a  man  which  told  me  all  things  that  ever  I 
did :  is  not  this  the  Christ !  "  Then  they  went  out  of  the  city,  and  came 
unto  him. 

In  the  mean  while  his  disciples  prayed  him,  saying,   "  Master,  eat." 

But  he  said  unto  them,   "  I  have  meat  to  eat  that  ye  know  not  of." 

Therefore  said  the  disciples  one  to  another,  "Hath  any  man  brought 
him  aught  to  eat  ?  " 

Jesus  saith  unto  them,  "  My  meat  is  to  do  the  will  of  him  that  sent  me, 
and  to  finish  his  work.  Say  not  ye,  There  are  yet  four  months,  and  then 
cometh  harvest  ?  behold,  I  say  unto  you,  Lift  up  your  eyes,  and  look  on 
the  fields ;  for  they  are  white  already  to  harvest.  And  he  that  reapeth 
receiveth  wages,  and  gathereth  fruit  unto  life  eternal :  that  both  he  that 
soweth  and  he  that  reapeth  may  rejoice  together.  And  herein  is  that  say 
ing  true,  One  soweth,  and  another  reapeth.  I  sent  you  to  reap  that  where 
on  ye  bestowed  no  labor :  other  men  labored,  and  ye  are  entered  into  their 
labors." 

And  many  of  the  Samaritans  of  that  city  believed  on  him  for  the  saying 
Manysamari-  of  the  woman,  which  testified,  He  told  me  all  that  ever  I  did. 

tans  are  con- 

So  when  the  Samaritans  were  come  unto  him,  they  besought 
him  that  he  would  tarry  with  them :  and  he  abode  there  two  days.  And 
many  more  believed  because  of  his  own  word ;  and  said  unto  the  woman, 
'  Now  we  believe,  not  because  of  thy  saying :  for  we  have  heard  him 
ourselves,  and  know  that  this  is  indeed  the  Christ,  the  Saviour  of  the 
world."

Now  after  two  days  he  departed  thence,  and  went  into  Galilee,  preach  !n<r 
the  gospel  of  the  kingdom  of  God,  and  saying,  "The  time  is  fulfilled, 
and  the  kingdom  of  God  is  at  hand:  repent  ve,  and  believe  the  ,

gospel."      And  there  went  out  a  fame  of  him  through  all  the  c 
region  round  about.     For  Jesus  himself  testified,  "  that  a  prophet  hath  n<> 
honor  in  his  own   country."      Then   when  he  was  come   into  Galilee,   the 
Galileans  received  him,  having  seen  all  the  things  that  he  did  at  Jerusalem 
at  the  feast:  for  they  also  went  unto  the  feast. 

So  Jesus  came  again  into  (1ana  of  Galilee,  where  he  made  the  water 
wine.  And  there  was  a  certain  nobleman,  whose  son  was  sick  . 

lie  heala  a 

at  Capernaum.     When   he  heard  that  Jesus  was  come  out  of  ' 

Jiuhea   into  Galilee,  he  went  unto  him,  and  besought  him  that   he   would 

come  down,   and  heal   his  son:    for  he  was  at  the  point,  of  death. 

Then  said  Jesus  unto  him,  "  Except  ye  see  signs  and  wonders,  ye  will 
not  believe." 

The  nobleman  saith  unto  him,  "  Sir,  come  down  ere  my  child  die." 

Jesus  saith  unto  him,  "Go  thy  wav ;  thy  son  liveth." 

And  the  man  believed  the  word  that  Jesus  had  spoken  unto  him,  and  he 
went  his  way.  And  as  he  was  now  going  down,  his  servants  met  him,  and 
told  him,  saying,  "  Thy  son  liveth."  Then  inquired  he  of  them  the  hour 
when  he  began  to  amend.  And  they  said  unto  him,  "  Yesterday  at  the 
seventh  hour  the  fever  left,  him."  So  the  father  knew  that  it  was  at  the 
same  hour  in  the  which  Jesus  said  unto  him,  Thy  son  liveth :  and  himself 
believed,  and  his  whole  house.  This  is  again  the  second  miracle  that  Jesus 
did,  when  he  was  come  out  of  JiuUua  into  Galilee.

HEALING   OF  THE   IMPOTENT   MAN   AT   THE   POOL.

THE  IMPOTENT   MAN    HEALED. 

FTER  this  there  was  a  feast  of  the  Jews  ;  and  Jesus  went 
up  to  Jerusalem. 

Now  there  is  at  Jerusalem,  by  the  sheep  market,  a  pool, 
which  is  called  in  the  Hebrew  tongue  Hethesda,  having 
five  porches.  In  these  lay  a  great  multitude  , 

J  .1  i-sus  heals  an 

of  impotent  folk,  of  blind,  halt,  withered,  wait-  iniP°tent m<ul- 
ing  for  the  moving  of  the  water.  For  an  angel  went  down  at  a  certain 
season  into  the  pool,  and  troubled  the  water :  whosoever  then  first,  after 
the  troubling  of  the  water  stepped  in  was  made  whole  of  whatsoever 
disease  he  had.  And  a  certain  man  was  there,  which  had  an  infirmity 
thirty-and-eight  years. 

When  Jesus  saw  him  lie,  and  knew  that  he  had  been  now  a  long  time  in 
that  case,  he  saith  unto  him,  "  Wilt  thon  be  made  whole  ?" 

The  impotent  man  answered  him,  "  Sir,  I  have  no  man,  when  the  water 
is  troubled,  to  put  me  into  the  pool :  but  while  I  am  coming,  another 
steppeth  down  before  me." 

Jesus  saith  unto  him,  "  Rise,  take  up  thy  bed,  and  walk." 

And  immediately  the  man  was  made  whole,  and  took  up  his  bed,  and 
walked :  and  on  the  same  day  was  the  Sabbath. 

'II ic  Jews  therefore  said  unto  him  that  was  cured,  "  It  is  the  Sabbath 
'l;iy:  it  is  not  lawful  for  thee  to  carry  thy  bed." 

II<-  answered  them,  "He  that  made  me  whole,  the  same  said  unto  me, 
•Take  up  thy  bed,  and  walk.'" 

Then  asked  they  him,  "What  man  is  that  which  said  unto  thee,  Take  up 
thy  bed,  and  walk  ? " 

And  he  that  was  healed  wist  not  who  it  was:  for  Jesus  had  conveyed 
himself  away,  a  multitude  being  in  that  place. 

Afterward  Jesus  findeth  him  in  the  temple,  and  said  unto  him,  "Behold, 
thou  art  made  whole:  sin  no  more,  lest  a  worse  thing  come  unto  thee." 

The  man  departed,  and  told  the  Jews  that  it  was  Jesus  which  had  made 
him  whole.  And  therefore  did  the  Jews  persecute  Jesus,  and  sought  to  slay

only  had  broken  the  Sabbath,  but  said  also  that  God  was  his  father,  mak 
ing  himself  equal  with  God. 

Then  answered  Jesus  and  said  unto  them,  "  Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto 
you,  The  Son  can  do  nothing  of  himself,  but  what  he  seeth  the  Father  do ; 
for  what  things  soever  he  doeth,  these  also  doeth  the  Son  likewise.  For 
the  Father  loveth  the  Son,  and  showeth  him  all  things  that  himself  doeth : 
and  he  will  show  him  greater  works  than  these,  that  ye  may  marvel.  For 
as  the  Father  raiseth  up  the  dead,  and  quickeneth  them ;  even  so  the  Son 
quickeneth  whom  he  will.  For  the  Father  judgeth  no  man,  but  hath 
committed  all  judgment  unto  the  Son  :  that  all  men  should  honor  the  Son, 
Deciarethhis  even  as  they  honor  the  Father.  He  that  honoreth  not  the  Son 
own  dignity.  ilonoreth  not  the  Father  which  hath  sent  him.  Verily,  verily,  I 
say  unto  you,  He  that  heareth  my  word,  and  belie veth  on  him  that  sent 
me,  hath  everlasting  life,  and  shall  not  come  into  condemnation;  but  is 
passed  from  death  unto  life.  Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  you,  The  hour  is 
coming-,  and  now  is,  when  the  dead  shall  hear  the  voice  of  the  Son  of  God ; 
and  they  that  hear  shall  live.  For  as  the  Father  hath  life  in  himself, 
so  hath  he  given  to  the  Son  to  have  life  in  himself;  and  hath  given  him 
authority  to  execute  judgment  also,  because  he  is  the  Son  of  man.  Marvel 
not  at  this :  for  the  hour  is  coming,  in  the  which  all  that  are  in  the  graves 
shall  hear  his  voice,  and  shall  come  forth ;  they  that  have  done  good,  imto 
the  resurrection  of  life ;  and  they  that  have  done  evil,  unto  the  resurrection 
of  damnation.  I  can  of  mine  own  self  do  nothing :  as  I  hear,  I  judge  ;  and 
my  judgment  is  just ;  because  I  seek  not  mine  own  will,  but  the  will  of  the 
Father  which  hath  sent  me. 

"  If  I  bear  witness  of  myself,  my  witness  is  not  true.  There  is  another

nesseth  of  me  is  true.  Ye  sent  unto  John,  and  he  bare  witness  unto  the 
truth.  But  I  receive  not  testimony  from  man :  but  these  things  I  say,  that 
ye  might  be  saved.  He  was  a  burning  and  a  shining  light ;  and  ye  were 
willing  for  a  season  to  rejoice  in  his  light. 

"  But  I  have  greater  witness  than  that  of  John :  for  the  works  which  the 
Father  hath  given  me  to  finish,  the  same  works  that  I  do  bear  witness  of 
me,  that  the  Father  hath  sent  me.  And  the  Father  himself,  which  hath  sent 
me,  hath  borne  witness  of  me.  Ye  have  neither  heard  his  voice  at  any 
time,  nor  seen  his  shape.  And  ye  have  not  his  word  abiding  in  you :  for 
whom  he  hath  sent,  him  ye  believe  not.  Search  the  Scriptures  ;  for  in 
them  ye  think  ye  have  eternal  life :  and  they  are  they  which  testify  of  me. 
And  ye  will  not  come  to  me,  that  ye  might  have  life.

"I  receive  not  honor  from  men.  But  I  know  you,  that  ye  have  not  the 
love  of  God  in  you.  I  am  come  in  my  Father's  name,  and  ye  receive  me 
not :  if  another  shall  come  in  his  own  name,  him  ye  will  receive.  How  can 
ye  believe,  which  receive  honor  one  of  another,  and  seek  not  the  honor  that 
cometh  from  God  only  ? 

"Do  not  think  that  I  will  accuse  you  to  the  Father:  there  is  one  that 
accuseth  you,  even  Moses,  in  whom  ye  trust.  For  had  ye  believed  Moses, 
ye  would  have  believed  me  :  for  he  wrote  of  me.  But  if  ye  believe  not  his

he  came  to  Nazareth,  where  he  had  been  brought  up  : 
and,  as  his  custom  was,   he  went  into   the  synagogue  on 
the  Sabbath  day,  and  stood  up  for  to  read.      And  there 
was  delivered  unto  him  the  book  of  the  Prophet  Isaiah. 
And  when  he  had  opened  the  book,  he  found  the  place 
where  it  Avas  written,  "The  Spirit  of  the  Lord  is  upon  me, 
because  he  hath  anointed  me  to  preach  the  gospel  to  the  poor ;   he  hath

And  he  closed  the  book,  and  lie  gave  it  again  to  the  minister,  and  sat 
doAvn.  And  the  eyes  of  all  them  that  Avere  in  the  synagogue  Avere  fastened 
on  him.  And  he  began  to  say  unto  them,  "  This  day  is  this  scripture 
fulfilled  in  your  ears." 

And  all  bare  him  Avitness,  and  Avondered  at  the  gracious  Avords  which 
proceeded  out  of  his  mouth.  And  they  said,  "Is  not  this  Joseph's  son!" 

And  he  said  unto  them,  "  Ye  Avill  surely  say  unto  me  this  proverb,  Phy 
sician,  heal  thyself:  AA^hatsoever  Ave  have  heard  done  in  Capernaum,  do  also 
here  in  thy  country."  And  he  said,  "Verily,  I  say  unto  you,  No  prophet  is 
accepted  in  his  OAvn  country.  But  I  tell  you  of  a  truth,  many  AvidoAvs  Avere

of  Elisha  the  prophet ;  and  none  of  them  Avas  cleansed,  saving  Naaman  the

JESUS    TAKES    UP   HIS  ABODE  IN   CAPERNAUM. 


And  leaving  Nazareth,  he  came  and  dwelt  in  Capernaum,  which  is  upon 
Takes  up  MS  the  sea-coast,  in  the  borders  of  Zebulon  and  Naphtali:  that  it 
naum.  might  be  fulfilled  which  was  spoken  by  Isaiah  the  prophet,  say 

ing,  "  The  land  of  Zebulon,  and  the  land  of  Naphtali,  by  the  way  of  the 
sea,  beyond  Jordan,  Galilee  of  the  Gentiles;  the  people  which  sat  in  dark 
ness  saw  a  great  light ;  and  to  them  which  sat  in  the  region  and  shadow  of 
death  light  is  sprung  up." 

And  Jesus,  walking  by  the  sea  of  Galilee,  saw  two  brethren,  Simon 
called  Peter,  and  Andrew  his  brother,  casting  a  net  into  the  sea:  for 
they  were  fishers.  And  it  came  to  pass,  that,  as  the  people  pressed  upon 
him  to  hear  the  word  of  God,  he  saw  two  ships  standing  by  the  lake. 
And  he  entered  into  one  of  the  ships,  which  was  Simon's,  and  prayed  him 
that  he  would  thrust  out  a  little  from  the  land.  And  he  sat  down,  and 
taught  the  people  out  of  the  ship. 

Now  when  he  had  left  speaking,  he  said  unto  Simon,  "  Launch  out  into 
the  deep,  and  let

a  draught." 

And  Simon  answering  said  un 
to  him,  "Master  we  have  toiled 
all  the  night,  and  have  taken 
nothing  :  nevertheless  at  thy  word 
I  will  let  down  the  net."  And 
when  they  had  this  done,  they  in 
closed  a  great  multitude  of  fishes  : 
and  their  net  brake.  And  they 
beckoned  unto  their  partners, 
which  were  in  the  other  ship,  that 
they  should  come  and  help  them. 
And  they  came,  and  filled  both  the  ships,  so  that  they  began  to  sink.  When 
Simon  Peter  saw  it,  he  fell  down  at  Jesus'  knees,  saying,  "  Depart  from  me  ; 
for  I  am  a  sinful  man,  0  Lord."  For  lie  was  astonished,  and  all  that  were 
with  him,  at  the  draught  of  the  fishes  which  they  had  taken  :  and  so  was 
also  James,  and  John,  and  the  sons  of  Zebedee,  which  were  partners  with 
Simon. 

And  Jesus  said  unto  them,  "  Come  ye  after  me,  and  I  will  make  you  to 
peter,  James,  and  Become  fishers  of  men."  And  straightway  they  forsook  their 
nets,  and  followed  him.  And  when  he  had  gone  a  little  farther 
thence,  he  saw  James  the  son  of  Zebedee,  and  John  his  brother,  who  also 
were  in  the  ship  mending  their  nets.  And  straightway  he  called  them  ; 
and  they  left  their  father  Zebedee  in  the  ship  with  the  hired  servants,  and 
went  after  him. 

And  they  went  into  Capernaum  ;  and  straightway  on  the  Sabbath  day

he  entered  into  the  synagogue,  and  taught.      And  they  were  astonished 
at  his  doctrine  :  for  he  taught  them  as  one  that  had  authority, 

Heals  a  demoniac  J  ' 


i  Capernaum. 

And  there  was  in  the  synagogue  a  man  with  an  unclean  spirit  ;  and  he 
cried  out,  saying,  "  Let  us  alone,  what  have  we  to  do  with  thee,  thou  Jesus 
of  Nazareth  ?  art  thou  come  to  destroy  us  ?  I  know  thee  who  thou  art,  the 
Holy  One  of  God." 

And  Jesus  rebuked  him,  saying,  "  Hold  thy  peace,  and  come  out  of  him." 
And  when  the  unclean  spirit  had  torn  him,  and  cried  with  a  loud  voice,  he 
came  out  of  him.  And  they  were  all  amazed,  insomuch  that  they  questioned 
among  themselves,  saying,  "What  thing  is  this?  what  new  doctrine  is  this? 
for  'with  authority  commandeth  he  even  the  unclean  spirits,  and  they  do 
obey  him."  And  immediately  his  fame  spread  abroad  throughout  all  the 

region  round  about  Galilee. 
o 

And  forthwith,  when  they  were  come  out  of  the  synagogue,  they  entered 
into  the  house  of  Simon  with  James  and  John.  And  when  Jesus  was 
Heais  Peter's  come  into  Peter's  house,  he  saw  his  wife's  mother  laid,  and  sick 

wife's  mother  of  a  ATI  i  111111  i 

fever.  Qi    a  fever.     And   lie   came   and    took   her   by   the    hand,    and 

lifted  her  up  ;   and  immediately  the  fever  left  her,  and  she  ministered  unto 
them. 

And  at  even,  when  the  sun  did  set,  they  brought  unto  him  all  that  were 

diseased,  and  them  that  were  possessed  with  devils.     And  all  the  city  was 

gathered  together  at  the  door.     And  he  healed  many  that  were

sick  ot  divers  diseases,  and  he  cast  out  the  spirits  with  Ins 
word,  and  healed  all  that  were  sick  ;  that  it  might  be  fulfilled  which  was 
spoken  by  Isaiah  the  prophet,  saying,  "  Himself  took  our  infirmities,  and 
bare  our  sicknesses." 

And  in  the  morning,  rising  up  a  great  while  before  day,  he  went  out,  and 
He  retires  from  departed  into  a  solitary  place,  and  there  prayed.  And  Simon 
and  they  that  were  with  him  followed  after  him.  And  when 
they  had  found  him,  they  said  unto  him,  "  All  men  seek  for  thee." 

And  he  said  unto  them,  "  Let  us  go  into  the  next  towns,  that  I  may 
preach  there  also  :  for  therefore  came  I  forth." 

And  Jesus  went  about  all  Galilee,  teaching  in  their  synagogues,  and 
preaching  the  gospel  of  the  kingdom,  and  healing  all  manner  of  sickness 
Makethacir-  anc^  all  manner  of  disease  among  the  people.  And  his  fame 
went  throughout  all  Syria  :  and  they  brought  unto  him  all  sick 
people  that  were  taken  with  divers  diseases  and  torments,  and  those  which 
were  possessed  with  devils,  and  those  which  were  lunatic,  and  those  that 
had  the  palsy  ;  and  he  healed  them.  And  there  followed  him  great  multi 
tudes  of  people  from  Galilee,  and  from  Decapolis,  and  from  Jerusalem,  and 
from  Judaea,  and  from  beyond  Jordan.

62  MAN   WITH  THE  PALSY  HEALED. 

And  it  came  to  pass,  when  he  was  in  a  certain  city,  behold  a  man  full  of 
leprosy :  who  seeing  Jesus  fell  on  his  face,  and  besought  him, 

Healeth  a  lepsr.  .  .         , 

say  my,      Lord,   n  thou  wilt,  thou  canst  make  me  clean. 

And  Jesus,  moved  with  compassion,  put  forth  his  hand,  and  touched  him, 
saying,  "  I  will ;  be  thou  clean." 

And  as  soon  as  he  had  spoken,  immediately  the  leprosy  departed  from 
him,  and  he  was  cleansed.  And  he  straitly  charged  him,  and  forthwith  sent 
him  away;  and  said  unto  him,  "  See  thou  say  nothing  to  any  man :  but  go 
thy  way,  shew  thyself  to  the  priest,  and  offer  for  thy  cleansing  those  things 
which  Moses  commanded,  for  a  testimony  unto  them." 

But  he  went  out,  and  began  to  publish  it  much,  and  to  blaze  abroad  the 
matter,  insomuch  that  Jesus  could  no  more  openly  enter  into  the  city,  but 
was  without  in  desert  places :  and  great  multitudes  came  together  to  hear, 
and  to  be  healed  by  him  of  their  infirmities. 

And  again  he  entered  into  Capernaum  after  some  days.  And  it  came  to 
pass  on  a  certain  day,  as  he  Avas  teaching,  that  there  were  Pharisees  and 
doctors  of  the  law  sitting  by,  which  were  come  out  of  every  town  of 
Galilee,  and  Judaea,  and  Jerusalem :  and  straightway  many  w^ere  gath 
ered  together,  insomuch  that  there  was  no  room  to  receive  them,  no,  not 
so  much  as  about  the  door :  and  the  power  of  the  Lord  was  present  to 
heal  them.  And,  behold,  men  brought  in  a  bed  a  man  which  was  taken 
with  a  palsy :  and  they  sought  means  to  bring  him  in,  and  to  lay  him 
Heaieth  a  para-  before  him.  And  when  they  could  not  find  by  what  way  they 

lytic  and  for-  PI  i 

givethsins.  might  bring  him  in  because  01  the  multitude,  they  went  upon 
the  housetop,  and  let  him  down  through  the  tiling  with  his  couch  into  the 
midst  before  Jesus.  And  when  he  saw  their  faith,  he  said  unto  him,  "  Son, 
be  of  good  cheer ;  thy  sins  are  forgiven  thee." 

And  the  scribes  and  the  Pharisees  began  to  reason  in  their  hearts,  saying, 
"  Who  is  this  which  speaketh  blasphemies  ?  who  can  forgive  sins,  but  God 
alone ! " 

But  when  Jesus  perceived  their  thoughts,  he  answering  said  unto  them, 
"What  reason  ye  in  your  hearts?  whether  is  easier,  to  say,  Thy  sins  be 
forgiven  thee ;  or  to  say,  Rise  up  and  walk  ?  but  that  ye  may  know  that 
the  Son  of  man  hath  power  upon  earth  to  forgive  sins,"  (he  said  unto  the 
sick  of  the  palsy,)  "  I  say  unto  thee,  Arise,  and  take  up  thy  couch,  and  go 
unto  thine  house." 

And  immediately  he  rose  up  before  them,  and  took  up  that  whereon  he 
lay,  and  departed  to  his  own  house,  glorifying  God.  And  they  were  all 
amazed,  and  they  glorified  God,  and  were  filled  with  fear,  saying,  "We 
have  seen  strange  things  to-day.  We  never  saw  it  on  this  fashion."

CALLING    OF   THE   TWELVE,    AND    OTHER    INCIDENTS. 


Matthew  is 


j   n 

ylND  he  went  forth  again  by  the  seaside;    and  all  the  mul 


titude  resorted  unto  him,  and  lie  taught  them.  And  as 
he  passed  by,  he  saw  Levi  the  son  of  Alphaeus  sitting 
at  the  receipt  of  custom,  and  said  unto  him,  "  Follow  me." 
And  lie  left  all,  rose  up,  and  followed  him.  And  Levi 
made  him  a  great  feast  in  his  own  house.  And  it  came 

to  pass,  as  Jesus  sat  at  meat  in  the  house,  behold,  many  publicans  and 
sinners  came  and  sat  down  with  him  and  his  disciples.  And 
when  the/Pharisees  saw  it,  they  said  unto  his  disciples,  "Why 
eateth  your  Master  with  publicans  and  sinners  *?  "  But  when 

Jesus  heard  that,   he  said  unto   them,   "They  that   be  whole   need  not   a 

physician,  but  they  that  are  sick.     But  go  ye  and  learn  Avhat  that  meaneth, 

I  will  have  mercy,  and  not  sacri 

fice:  for  I  am  not  come  to  call 

the  righteous,  but  sinners  to  re 

pentance." 

Then   came   to  him   the  disci 

ples  of  John,    saying,  "Why  do 

we  and  the  Pharisees  fast  oft  and 

make  prayers,   but  thy  disciples 

fast  not!" 

And    Jesus    said    unto    them, 

"Can  the  children  of  the  bride- 

chamber   fast,    while    the    bride 

groom  is  with  them  1    as  long  as 

they  have  the   bridegroom  with 

them,  they  cannot  fast.    But  the 

days  will   come,  when  the  bridegroom   shall  be   taken   away   from   them, 

and  then  shall  they  fast  in  those  days." 

And  he  spake  also  a  parable  unto  them:   "No  man  putteth  a  piece  of  a 

new  garment  upon  an  old  ;  if  otherwise,  then  both  the  new  maketh  a  rent, 


GOAT-SKIN

and  the  piece  that  was  taken  out  of  the  new  agreeth  not  with  the  old. 
And  no  man  putteth  new  wine  into  old  bottles  ;  else  the  new  wine  will 
burst  the  bottles,  and  be  spilled,  and  the  bottles  shall  perish.  But  new  wine 
must  be  put  into  new  bottles  ;  and  both  are  preserved.  No  man  also  having 
drunk  old  wine  straightway  desireth  new  :  for  he  saith,  The  old  is  better." 

And  it  came  to  pass  on  the  second  sabbath  after  the  first,  that  he  went 
The  Pharisees       through  the  corn-fields  ;  and  his  disciples  plucked  the  ears  of 


corn,  and  did  eat,  rubbing  them  in  their  hands.     And  certain  of 

plucking  corn  .  .  _  TTTI  i  i  I  •    1       « 

on  the  sabbath,  the  rhansees  said  unto  them,  Why  do  ye  that  which  is  not 
lawful  to  do  on  the  sabbath  days  ?  " 

And  Jesus  answering  them  said,  "  Have  ye  not  read  so  much  as  this, 
what  David  did,  when  himself  was  an  hungered,  and  they  which  were  with 
him ;  how  he  went  into  the  house  of  God  in  the  days  of  Abiather  the  high- 
priest,  and  did  eat  the  shewbread,  which  was  not  lawful  for  him  to  eat, 
neither  for  them  which  were  with  him,  but  only  for  the  priests!  or  have 
ye  not  read  in  the  law,  how  that  on  the  sabbath  days  the  priests  in  the 
temple  profane  the  sabbath,  and  are  blameless  1  but  I  say  unto  you,  That 
in  this  place  is  one  greater  than  the  temple.  But  if  ye  had  known  what 
this  meaneth,  I  will  have  mercy,  and  not  sacrifice,  ye  would  not  have 
condemned  the  guiltless.  The  sabbath  was  made  for  man,  and  not  man 
for  the  sabbath  :  therefore  the  Son  of  man  is  Lord  also  of  the  sabbath." 

And  when  he  was  departed  thence,  he  went  into  their  synagogue :  and 

there  was  a  man  whose  right  hand  was  withered.     And  the  scribes   and 

Pharisees  watched  him,  whether  he  would  heal  on  the  sabbath 

A  man  with  a 

heaied'tn  thetab-  ^aY  j  that  they  might  find  an  accusation  against  him.  But  he 
knew  their  thoughts,  and  said  unto  the  man  which  had  the 
withered  hand,  "  Rise  up,  and  stand  forth  in  the  midst." 

And  he  arose  and  stood  forth.  And  they  asked  him,  saying,  "Is  it 
lawful  to  heal  on  the  sabbath  days !  " 

Then  said  Jesus  unto  them,  "I  will  ask  you  one  thing;  Is  it  lawful  011 
the  sabbath  days  to  do  good,  or  to  do  evil !  to  save  life,  or  to  destroy  it  ?  " 
And  he  said  unto  them,  "What  man  shall  there  be  among  you,  that  shall 
have  one  sheep,  and  if  it  fall  into  a  pit  on  the  sabbath  day,  will  he  not 
lay  hold  on  it,  and  lift  it  out!  how  much  then  is  a  man  better  than  a 
sheep ! " 

But  they  held  their  peace.  And  when  he  had  looked  round  about  on 
them  with  anger,  being  grieved  for  the  hardness  of  their  hearts,  he  saith 
unto  the  man,  "Stretch  forth  thy  hand." 

And  he  stretched  it  out:  and  his  hand  was  restored  whole  as  the  other. 
IndHerod8i!nSa  And  the  Pharisees  filled  with  madness  went  forth,  and 
him.  straightway  took  counsel  with  the  Herodians  against  him,  how 

they  might  destroy  him.  But  Jesus  withdrew  himself  with  his  disci-

from  Judaea,  and  from  Jerusalem,  and  from  Idumsea,  and  from  beyond 
Jordan  ;  and  they  about  Tyre  and  Sidon,  a  great  multitude,  when  they 
heard  what  great  things  he  did,  came  unto  him.  And  he  spake  to  his 
disciples,  that  a  small  ship  should  wait  on  him  because  of  the 

Many  miracles 

multitude,  lest  they  should  throng  him.  For  he  had  healed 
many  ;  insomuch  that  they  pressed  upon  him  for  to  touch  him,  as  many 
as  had  plagues.  And  unclean  spirits,  when  they  saw  him,  fell  down  before 
him,  and  cried,  saying,  "Thou  art  the  Son  of  God."  And  he  straitly 
charged  them  that  they  should  not  make  him  known. 

That  it  might  be  fulfilled  which  was  spoken  by  Isaiah  the  prophet, 
saying,  "  Behold  my  servant,  whom  I  have  chosen  ;  my  beloved,  in  whom

ment  to  the  Gentiles.  He  shall  not  strive,  nor  cry; 
neither  shall  any  man  hear  his  voice  in  the  streets. 
A  bruised  reed  shall  he  not  break,  and  smoking  flax 
shall  he  not  quench,  till  he  send  forth  judgment  unto 
victory.  And  in  his  name  shall  the  Gentiles  trust" 

And  it  came  to  pass  in  those  days,  that  he  went 
out  into  a  mountain  to  pray,  and  continued  all  night 
in  prayer  to  God.  And  when  it  was  day,  he  calleth 
The  twelve  Apos-  unto  llmi  whom  he  would  :  and  they  came  unto  him.  And 

he  ordained  twelve,  that  they  should  be  with  him,  and  that 
he  might  send  them  forth  to  preach,  and  to  have  power  to  heal  sick 
nesses,  and  to  cast  out  devils,  whom  also  he  named  apostles  ;  Simon, 
(whom  he  also  named  Peter,)  and  Andrew  his  brother,  James  the  son  of 
Zebedee,  and  John  the  brother  of  James  ;  and  he  surnamed  them  Boan 
erges,  which  is  "The  sons  of  Thunder":  Philip  and  Bartholomew,  Mat 
thew  the  publican,  and  Thomas,  James  the  son  of  Alphseus,  and  Simon 
the  Canaanite  called  Zelotes,  and  Judas  the  brother  of  James,  and  Judas 
Iscariot,  which  also  was  the  traitor. 

And  he  came  down  with  them,  and  stood  in  the  plain,  and  the  company 
of  his  disciples,  and  a  great  multitude  of  people  out  of  all  Judaea  and 
Jerusalem,  and  from  the  sea-coast  of  Tyre  and  Sidon,  which  came  to  hear 
him,  and  to  be  healed  of  their  diseases  :  and  they  that  were  vexed  with 
unclean  spirits  :  and  they  were  healed.  And  the  whole  multitude  sought 
to  touch  him  :  for  there  went  virtue  out  of  him,  and  healed  them  all.

ND  seeing  the  multitudes,  he  went  up  into  a  mountain ; 
and  when  he  was  set,  his  disciples  came  unto  him :  and  he 
opened  his  mouth,  and  taught  them,  saying,  "  Blessed  are 
the   poor  in  spirit:  for  theirs   is  the  kingdom  of  heaven. 
Blessed  are  they  that  mourn :  for  they  shall  be  comforted. 
Blessed  are   the  meek :  for  they  shall  inherit  the  earth. 
Blessed  are  they  which  do  hunger  and  thirst  after  righteousness :  for  they 
shall  be  filled.     Blessed  are  the  merciful :  for  they  shall  obtain

mercy.  Blessed  are  the  pure  in  heart :  lor  they  shall  see  Grod. 
Blessed  are  the  peacemakers :  for  they  shall  be  called  the  children  of  God. 
Blessed  are  they  which  are  persecuted  for  righteousness'  sake :  for  theirs 
is  the  kingdom  of  heaven.  Blessed  are  ye,  when  men  shall  revile  you, 
and  persecute  you,  and  shall  say  all  manner  of  evil  against  you  falsely, 
for  my  sake.  Rejoice  ye  in  that  day,  and  leap  for  joy :  for,  behold,  your 
reward  is  great  in  heaven :  for  in  the  like  manner  did  their  fathers  unto 
the  prophets. 

"But  woe  unto  you  that  are  rich!  for  ye  have  received  your  consola 
tion.  Woe  unto  you  that  are  full  !  for  ye  shall 
hunger.  Woe  unto  you  that  laugh  now !  for  ye 
shall  mourn  and  weep.  Woe  unto  you,  when  all 
men  shall  speak  well  of  you !  for  so  did  their  fathers 
to  the  false  prophets. 

"  Ye  are  the  salt  of  the   earth :    but  if  the   salt 

have  lost  his   savor,  wherewith   shall  it 

be  salted  I  it  is  thenceforth  good  for 
nothing,  but  to  be  cast  out,  and  to  be  trodden  under 
foot  of  men. 

Ye  are  the  light  of  the  world.     A  city  that  is  set

house.  Let  your  light  so  shine  before  men,  that  they  may  see  your  good 
works,  and  glorify  your  Father  which  is  in  heaven. 

"  Think  not  that  I  am  come  to  destroy  the  law,  or  the  prophets :  I  am 
of  keeping  the  not  come  to  destroy,  but  to  fulfill.  For  verily  I  say  unto  you, 
Till  heaven  and  earth  pass,  one  jot  or  one  tittle  shall  in  no  wise 
pass  from  the  law,  till  all  be  fulfilled.  Whosoever  therefore  shall  break 
one  of  these  least  commandments,  and  shall  teach  men  so,  he  shall  be 
called  the  least  in  the  kingdom  of  heaven :  but  whosoever  shall  do  and 
teach  them,  the  same  shall  be  called  great  in  the  kingdom  of  heaven. 
For  I  say  unto  you,  That  except  your  righteousness  shall  exceed  the 
righteousness  of  the  Scribes  and  Pharisees,  ye  shall  in  no  case  enter  into 
the  kingdom  of  heaven. 

"  Ye  have  heard  that  it  was  said  by  them  of  old  time,  Thou  shalt  not 
kill ;  and  whosoever  shall  kill  shall  be  in  danger  of  the  iudg-

ment :  but  1  say  unto  you,  1  hat  whosoever  is  angry  with  his 
brother  without  a  cause  shall  be  in  danger  of  the  judgment :  and  whosoever 
shall  say  to  his  brother,  Raca,  shall  be  in  danger  of  the  council :  but 
whosoever  shall  say,  Thou  fool,  shall  be  in  danger  of  hell-fire.  Therefore 
if  thou  bring  thy  gift  to  the  altar,  and  there  rememberest  that  thy  brother 
hath  aught  against  tliee ;  leave  there  thy  gift  before  the  altar,  and  go  thy 
way ;  first  be  reconciled  to  thy  brother,  and  then  come  and  offer  thy  gift. 
Agree  with  thine  adversary  quickly,  while  thou  art  in  the  way  with  him ; 
lest  at  any  time  the  adversary  deliver  thee  to  the  judge,  and  the  judge 
deliver  thee  to  the  officer,  and  thou  be  cast  into  prison.  Verily  I  say  unto 
thee,  Thou  shalt  by  no  means  come  out  thence,  till  thou  hast  paid  the 
uttermost  farthing. 

uYe  have  heard  that  it  was  said  by  them  of  old  time,  Thou  shalt  not 

commit  adultery :  but  I  say  unto  you,  That  whosoever  looketh 

Of  impurity.  J    \  J  J 

on  a  woman  to  lust  alter  her  hath  committed  adultery  with 
her  already  in  his  heart.  And  if  thy  right  eye  offend  thee,  pluck  it  out, 
and  cast  it  from  thee :  for  it  is  profitable  for  thee  that  one  of  thy  members 
should  perish,  and  not  that  thy  whole  body  should  be  cast  into  hell.  And 
if  thy  rig] it  hand  offend  thee,  cut  it  off,  and  cast  it  from  thee :  for  it  is 
profitable  for  thee  that  one  of  thy  members  should  perish,  and  not  that 
thy  whole  body  should  be  cast  into  hell.  It  hath  been  said,  Whosoever 
shall  put  away  his  wife,  let  him  give  her  a  writing  of  divorcement :  but  I 
say  unto  you,  That  whosoever  shall  put  away  his  wife,  saving  for  the  cause 
of  fornication,  causeth  her  to  commit  adultery :  and  whosoever  shall  marry 
her  that  is  divorced  committeth  adultery. 

u  Again,  ye  have  heard  that  it  hath  been  said  by  them  of  old 

Of  swearing.  &  '    J  J

the  Lord  thine  oaths :  but  I  say  unto  you,  Swear  not  at  all ;  neither  by

neither  by  Jerusalem ;  for  it  is  the  city  of  the  great  King-.  Neither  shalt 
tliou  swear  by  thy  head,  because  thou  canst  not  make  one  hair  white  or 
black.  But  let  your  communication  be,  Yea,  yea ;  Nay,  nay :  for  what 
soever  is  more  than  these  cometh  of  evil. 

"Ye  have  heard  that  it  hath  been  said,  An  eye  for  an  eye,  and  a  tooth 

for  a  tooth :  but  I  say  unto  you,  That  ye  resist  not  evil :  but  whosoever  shall 

smite  tliee  on  thy  right  cheek,  turn  to  him  the  other  also.     And 

if  any  man  will  sue  thee  at  the  law,  and  take  away  thy  coat, 

let  him  have  thy  cloak  also.    And  whosoever  shall  compel  thee  to  go  a  mile,

"Ye  have  heard  that  it  hath  been  said,  Thou  shalt  love  thy  neighbor, 
and  hate  thine  enemy.  But  I  say  unto  you,  Love  your  enemies, 
bless  them  that  curse  you,  do  good  to  them  that  hate  you,  and 
pray  for  them  which  despitefully  use  you,  and  persecute  you ;  that  ye  may 
be  the  children  of  your  Father  which  is  in  heaven :  for  he  maketh  his  sun 
to  rise  on  the  evil  and  on  the  good,  and  sendeth  rain  on  the  just  and  on  the 
unjust.  For  if  ye  love  them  which  love  you,  what  thank  have  ye?  for 
sinners  also  love  those  that  love  them.  And  if  ye  do  good  to  them  which 
do  good  to  you,  what  thank  have  ye  ?  for  sinners  also  do  even  the  same. 
And  if  ye  lend  to  them  of  whom  ye  hope  to  receive,  what  thank  have  ye  f 
for  sinners  also  lend  to  sinners,  to  receive  as  much  again.  But  love  ye  your 
enemies,  and  do  good,  and  lend,  hoping  for  nothing  again 
reward  shall  be  great,  and  ye  shall  be  the 
children  of  the  Highest :  for  he  is  kind 
unto  the  unthankful  and  to  the  evil.  Be 
ye  therefore  perfect  even  as  your  Father 
which  is  in  heaven  is  perfect.

"And  when  tliou  prayest,  thou  shalt  not  be  as  the  hypocrites  are:  for 

they  love  to  pray  standing  in  the  synagogues  and  in  the  corners  of  the 

streets,  that  they  may  be  seen  of  men.     Verily  I  say  unto  you, 

Of  prayer.  J  J  J  J  J 

They  have  their  reward.  But  thou,  when  thou  prayest,  enter 
into  thy  closet,  and  when  thou  hast  shut  thy  door,  pray  to  thy  Father 
which  is  in  secret;  and  thy  Father  which  seeth  in  secret  shall  reward  thee 
openly.  But  when  ye  pray,  use  not  vain  repetitions,  as  the  heathen  do : 
for  they  think  that  they  shall  be  heard  for  their  much  speaking.  Be  not  ye 
therefore  like  unto  them  :  for  your  Father  knoweth  what  things  ye  have 
need  of,  before  ye  ask  him. 

"  After  this  manner  therefore  pray  ye:  Our  Father  which  art  in  heaven, 

Hallowed  be  thy  name.      Thy  kingdom  come.      Thy  will  be

not  into  temptation,  but  deliver  us  from  evil :  For  thine  is  the  kingdom, 
and  the  power,  and  the  glory,  forever.  Amen. 

"For  if  ye  forgive  men  their  trespasses,  your  heavenly  Father  will  also 

forgive  you :  but  if  ye  forgive  not  men  their  trespasses,  neither

will  your  Father  forgive  your  trespasses. 
11  Moreover  when  ye  fast,  be  not,  as  the  hypocrites,  of  a  sad  countenance : 

for  they  disfigure  their  faces,  that  they  may  appear  unto  men  to 

fast.  Verily  I  say  unto  you,  They  have  their  reward.  But 
thou,  when  thou  fastest,  anoint  thine  head,  and  wash  thy  face ;  that  thou 
appear  not  unto  men  to  fast,  but  unto  thy  Father  which  is  in  secret :  and 
thy  Father,  which  seeth  in  secret,  shall  reward  thee  openly. 

"  Lay  not  up  for  yourselves  treasures  upon  earth,  where  moth  and  rust

lay  up  for  yourselves  treasures  in  heaven,  where  neither  moth 
nor  rust  doth  corrupt,  and  where  thieves  do  not  break  through  nor  steal : 
for  where  your  treasure  is,  there  will  your  heart  be  also. 

"  The  light  of  the  body  is  the  eye ;  if  therefore  thine  eye  be  single,  thy

whole  body  shall  be  full  of  darkness.  If  therefore  the  light  that 
is  in  thee  be  darkness,  how  great  is  that  darkness ! 

•'No  man  can  serve  two  masters :  for  either  he  will  hate  the  one,  and  love 
the  other ;  or  else  he  will  hold  to  the  one  and  despise  the  other.  Ye  cannot 
serve  God  and  mammon.  Therefore  I  say  unto  you,  Take  no  thought  for

And    he    spake    a   parable    to    them, 
"  Can  the  blind  lead  the  blind '?    shall 

tliev  not  both  fall   into  the  ditch?  the

and  considerest  not  the  beam  that  is  in 
thine  own  eye  1  or  how  wilt  thou  say 
to  thy  brother,  Let  me  pull  out  the 
mote  out  of  thine  eye  ;  and,  behold,  a 
beam  is  in  thine  own  eye  ?  thou  hypo 
crite,  first  cast  out  the  beam  out  of 
thine  own  eye ;  and  then  shalt  thou 
see  clearly  to  cast  out  the  mote  out  of

"  Give  not  that  which  is  holy  unto  the  dogs,  neither  cast  ye  your  pearls

Ask,  and  it  shall  be  given  you ;   seek,  and  ye  shall  find ;  knock,  and  it

and  he  that  seeketh  findeth ;  and  to  him  that  knocketh  it  shall

he  give  him  a  stone?  or  if  he  ask  a  fish,  will  he  give  him  a  serpent!  if  ye 
then,  being  evil,  know  how  to  give  good  gifts  unto  your  children,  how

that  ask  him  ?  therefore  all  things  whatsoever  ye  would  that  men  should  do

I  profess  unto  them,  I  never  knew  you  :    depart  from  me,  ye  that  work

"Therefore  whosoever  heareth  these  sayings  of  mine,  and  doeth  them, 
I  will  liken  him  unto  a  wise  man,  which  built  his  house  upon  a  ,

And  it  came  to  pass,  when  Jesus  had  ended  these  sayings,  the  people 
were  astonished  at  his  doctrine  :  for  he  taught  them  as  one  having  authority, 
and  not  as  the  scribes.  When  he  was  come  down  from  the  mountain,  great 
multitudes  followed  him.

when  he  had  ended  all.  his  sayings  in  the  audience  of 
the  people,  be   entered  into  Capernaum.      And  a  certain 
centurion's  servant,  who  was  dear  unto  him,  was  sick,  and 
ready  to  die.     And  when  he  heard  of  Jesus,  he  sent  unto 
him  the  elders  of  the  Jews,  beseeching  him  that  he  would 
come    and   heal   his    servant.      And   when    they   came  to 
Jesus,  they  besought  him  instantly,  saying,  That  he  was  worthy  for  whom 
he  should  do  this  :  for  he  lovetli  our  nation,  and  he  hath  built  us  a  syna 
gogue.     Then  Jesus  went  with  them. 

And  when  he  was  now  not  far  from  the  house,  the  centurion  sent  friends 
to  him,  saying  unto  him,  "Lord,  trouble  not  thyself:  for  I  am  not  worthy 
that  tliou  shouldest  enter  under  my  roof:  wherefore  neither 
thought  I  myself  worthy  to  come  unto  thee  :  but  say  in  a  word, 
and  my  servant  shall  be  healed.  For  I  also  am  a  man  set  under  authority, 
having  under  me  soldiers,  and  I  say  unto  one,  Go,  and  he  goeth  ;  and  to 
another,  Come,  and  he  cometh  ;  and  to  my  servant,  Do  this,  and  he  doeth  it. 
When  Jesus  heard  these  things,  he  marveled  at  him,  and  turned  him 
about,  and  said  unto  the  people  that  followed  him,  "  I  say  unto  you,  I  have 
not  found  so  great  faith,  no,  not  in  Israel.  Many  shall  come  from  the  east 
and  west,  and  shall  sit  down  with  Abraham,  and  Isaac,  and  Jacob,  in  the 
kingdom  of  heaven.  But  the  children  of  the  kingdom  shall  be  cast  out  into 
outer  darkness  :  there  shall  be  weeping  and  gnashing  of  teeth."  And  they 
that  were  sent,  returning  to  the  house,  found  the  servant  whole  that  had 
been  sick. 

And  it  came  to  pass  the  day  after,  that  he  went  into  a  city  called  Nain  ; 
and  many  of  his  disciples  Avent  with  him,  and  much  people.  Now  when  he 
came  nigh  to  the  gate  of  the  city,  behold,  there  was  a  dead  man  carried  out, 
the  only  son  of  his  mother,  and  she  was  a  widow  :  and  much  people  of  the 
city  was  with  her.  And  when  the  Lord  saw  her,  he  had  compassion  on  her, 
and  said  unto  her,  "  Weep  not."

JOHN   THE  BAPTIST. 


™ 

The  message  of 

i  the  Baptist, 


And  he  came  and  touched  the  bier  :  and  they  that  bare  him  stood  still. 
And  he  said,  "  Young  man,  I  say  unto  thee,  Arise."  And  he  that  was  dead 
A  widow's  son  sat  up,  and  began  to  speak.  And  he  delivered  him  to  his 

raised  from  the  1  tin  r  n  1^1  i  •    •  p      i 

dead.  mother.      And    there    came   a  tear  on  all  :    and  they   glorified 

God,  saying,  "  That  a  great  prophet  is  risen  up  among  us";  and,  "That 
God  hath  visited  his  people."  And  this  rumor  of  him  went  forth  through 
out  all  Judaea,  and  throughout  all  the  region  round  about. 

And  the  disciples  of  John  showed  him  of  all  these  things.     And  John 
calling:  unto  him  two  of  his  disciples  sent  them  to  Jesus,  saying-, 

-         O  ' 

u  Art  thou  he  that  should  come  <?    or  \QQ^  we  for  another  ?  " 
When  the  men  were  come  unto  him,  they  said,  "  John  Baptist  hath  sent 

us  unto  thee,  saying,  Art  thou  he  that  should'  come?   or  look  we  for  an 

other  I  " 

And  in  the  same  hour  he  cured  many  of  their  infirmities  and  plagues,  and 

of  evil  spirits  ;  and  unto  many  that  were  blind  he  gave  sight.      Then  Jesus 

answering  said  unto  them,  "  Go  your  way,  and  tell  John  what  things  ye 

have  seen  and  heard  ;   how  that  the  blind  see,  the  lame  walk,  the  lepers  are 

cleansed,  the   deaf  hear,   the   dead  are  raised,   to  the  poor  the  gospel   is 

preached.     And  blessed  is  he,  whosoever  shall  not  be  offended  in  me." 
And  when  the  messengers  of  John 

were   departed,  he  began   to  speak 

unto  the  people  concerning  John, 
"What  went  ye  out  into 
the  wilderness  for  to  see  ? 

A  reed  shaken  with  the  wind  !  but 

what  went  ye  out  for  to   see  ?     A 

man  clothed  in  soft  raiment  ?     Be 

hold,  they  which  are  gorgeously  ap 

pareled,  and  live   delicately,  are  in 

kings'   courts.      But  what  went  ye 

out  for  to  see  1    A  prophet  ?    Yea,  I 

say  unto  you,  and  much  more  than 

a  prophet.     For  this  is  he,  of  whom 

it  is   written,    Behold,    I    send   my 

messenger   before    thy   face,   which 

shall  prepare  thy  way  before  thee. 

Verily  I  say  unto  you,  Among  them 

that  are  born  of  women  there  hath 

not  risen  a  greater  than  John  the 

Baptist:  notwithstanding  he  that  is 

least  in  the  kingdom  of  heaven  is  greater  than  he.     And  from  the  days  of 

John  the  Baptist  until  now  the  kingdom  of  heaven  suffereth  violence,  and

the  violent  take  it  by  force.  For  all  the  prophets  and  the  law  prophesied 
until  John.  And  if  ye  will  receive  it,  this  is  Flias,  which  was  for  to  come. 
He  that  hath  ears  to  hear,  let  him  hear." 

And  all  the  people  that  heard  him,  and  the  publicans,  justified  God,  being 
baptized  with  the  baptism  of  John.  Hut  the  Pharisees  and  lawyers  rejected 
the  counsel  of  God  against  themselves,  being1  not  baptized  of  him. 

And  the  Lord  said,  "  Whereunto  then  shall  I  liken  the  men  of  this  gen 
eration  .'  and  to  what  are  they  like?    they  are  like  unto  children 
....  11  'in-  i  i  John  and  Chriat 

sitting  in  the  market-place,  and  calling  one  to  another,  and  say 
ing,  *  We  have  piped  unto  you,  and  ye  have  not  danced  ;  we  have  mourned 
to  you,  and  ye  have  not  wept.'  For  John  the  Baptist  came  neither  eating 
bread  nor  drinking  wine  ;  and  ye  say,  k  lie  hath  a  devil.'  The  Son  of  man 
is  come  eating  and  drinking ;  and  ye  say,  '  Behold  a  gluttonous  man,  and 
a  wine-bibber,  a  friend  of  publicans  and  sinners  ! '  But  wisdom  is  justified 
of  all  her  children." 

Then  began  he  to  upbraid  the  cities  wherein  most  of  his  mighty  works 
were  done,  because  they  repented  not:  "Woe  unto  thee,  Chorazin!  . 

He  upbraids 

woe  unto  thee,  Bethsaida  !  for  if  the  mighty  works,  which  were  certa"lcitie8 
done  in  you,  had  been  done  in  Tyre  and  Sidon,  they  would  have  repented 
long-  ago  in  sackcloth  and  ashes.  But  I  say  unto  you,  It  shall  be  more 
tolerable  for  Tyre  and  Sidon  in  the  day  of  judgment  than  for  you.  And 
thou,  Capernaum,  which  art  exalted  unto  heaven,  shalt  be  brought  down  to 
hell:  for  if  the  mighty  works,  which  have  been  done  in  thee,  had  been 
done  in  Sodom,  it  would  have  remained  until  this  day.  But  I  say  unto 
you,  That  it  shall  be  more  tolerable  for  the  land  of  Sodom  in  the  day  of 
judgment,  than  for  thee." 

At  that  time  Jesus  answered  and  said,  "  I  thank  thee,  ()  Father,  Lord  of 
heaven  and  earth,  because  thou  hast  hid  these  things  from  the  wise  and 
prudent,  and  hast  revealed  them  unto  babes.  Even  so,  Father:  for  so 
it  seemed  good  in  thy  sight. 

"All  things  are  delivered  unto  me  of  mv  Father:   and  no  man  knoweth 

O  •/ 

the  Son  hut  the  Father;  neither  knoweth  any  man  the  Father,  save  the 
Son,  and  he  to  whomsoever  the  Son  will  reveal  him. 

"Come  unto  me,  all  ye  that  labor  and  are  heavy  laden,  and  I  will  give 
you  rest.     Take  my  yoke  upon  you,  and  learn  of  me ;  for  I  am  A      iOM  toTi- 
meek  and  lowly  of  heart:  and  ye  shall  find  rest  unto  your  souls.  ' 
For  my  yoke  is  easy  and  my  burden   is  light." 

And  one  of  the  Pharisees  desired  him  that  he  would  eat  with  him.  And 
he  went  into  the  Pharisee's  house,  and  sat  down  to  meat.  And  wwhe«th«

that  Jesus  sat  at  meat  in  the  Pharisee's  house,  brought  an  alabaster  box 

of  ointment,  and  stood  at  his  feet  behind  him  weeping,  and  began  to  wash 


DEAF  AXD   DCMB  DE31OXIAC  HEALED.  87 

his  feet  with  tears,  and  did  wipe  them  with  the  hairs  of  her  head,  and 
kissed  his  feet,  and  anointed  them  with  the  ointment.  Now  when  tlu- 
Pharisee  which  had  bidden  him  saw  it,  he  spake  within  himself,  saying, 
"  This  man,  if  he  were  a  proplu-t,  would  have  known  who  and  what  manner 
of  woman  this  is  that  toucheth  him :  for  she  is  a  sinner." 

And  Jesus  answering-  said  unto  him,  "  Simon,  I  have  somewhat  to  say 
unto  thee," 

And  he  saith.  ••  Master,  say  on." 

4*  There  was  a  certain  creditor  which  had  two  debtors :  the  one  owed  five 

hundred  pence,  and  the  other  fiftv.     And  when  thev  had  noth- 

• 

ing  to  pay.  he  frankly  forgave  them  both.     Tell   me  therefore, 
which  of  them  will  love  him  most  f  "     Simon  answered  and  said,  "  I  sup 
pose  that  he,  to  whom  he  forgave  inost.n 

And  he  said  unto  him,  "Thou  hast  rightly  judged." 

And  he  turned  to  the  woman,  and  said  unto  Simon,  ••  Seest  thou  this 
woman  f  I  entered  into  thine  house,  thou  gavest  me  no  water  for  my  feet : 
but  she  hath  washed  my  feet  with  tears,  and  wiped  them  with  the  hairs  of 
her  head.  Thou  gavest  me  no  kiss  :  but  this  woman  since  the  time  I  came 
in  hath  not  ceased  to  kiss  my  feet.  My  head  with  oil  thou  didst  not  anoint : 
but  this  woman  hath  anointed  my  feet  with  ointment.  Wherefore  I  say 
unto  thee.  Her  sins,  which  are  many,  are  forgiven :  for  she  loved  much : 
but  to  whom  little  is  forgiven,  the  same  loveth  little," 

And  he  said  unto  her,   **  Thy  sins  are  forgiven." 

And  they  that  sat  at  meat  with  him  began  to  say  within  themselves,  Who 
is  this  that  forgiveth  sins  also? 

And  he  said  to  the  woman.  ••  Thy  faith  hath  saved  thee:  go  in  peace." 

And  Jesus  went  about  all  the  cities  and  villages,  teaching  in  their  svna- 
gogues,  and  preaching  the  gospel  of  the  kingdom,  and  healing  every  sick 
ness  and  every  disease  among  the  people.  And  the  twelve  were  with  him. 
and  certain  women,  which  had  been  healed  of  evil  spirits  and  infirmities, 
Mary  called  Magdalene,  out  of  whom  went  seven  devils,  and  Joanna  the 
wife  of  Chuza,  Herod's  steward,  and  Susanna,  and  many  others,  which 
ministered  unto  him  of  their  substance. 

Then  was  brought  unto  him  one  possessed  with  a  devil,  blind,  and  dumb: 
and  he  healed  him,  insomuch  that  the  blind  and  dumb  both 
spake  and  saw.     And  all  the  people  were  amazed,  and  said,  "  Is 
not  this  die  son  of  David  ? " 

But  when  the  Pharisees  heard  it,  they  said,  "  This  fellow 
doth  not  cast  out  devils,  but  by  Beelzebub  the  prince  of  tin- 
devils." 

And  Jesus  knew  their  thoughts,  and  said  unto  them,  4t  Every  kingdom 
divided  against  itself  is  brought  to  desolation:  and  every  city  or  house 


88  A    TREE   KNOWN  BY  ITS  FRUITS. 

divided  against  itself  shall  not  stand :   and  if  Satan  cast  out  Satan,  he  is 

O  ' 

divided  against  himself;  how  shall  then  his  kingdom  stand?  And -if  I  by 
Beelzebub  east  out  devils,  by  whom  do  your  children  cast  them  out?  therefore 
they  shall  be  your  judges.  But  if  I  cast  out  devils  by  the  Spirit  of  God, 
then  the  kingdom  of  God  is  come  unto  you.  Or  else  how  can  one  enter 
into  a  strong  man's  house,  and  spoil  his  goods,  except  he  first  bind  the 
strong  man  1  and  then  he  will  spoil  his  house.  He  that  is  not  with  me  is 
against  me ;  and  he  that  gathereth  not  with  me  scattereth  abroad. 

"  Wherefore  I  say  unto  you,  All  manner  of  sin  and  blasphemy  shall  be 
forgiven  unto  men :  but  the  blasphemy  against  the  Holy  Ghost  shall  not  be 
forgiven  unto  men.  And  whosoever  speaketh  a  word  against  the  Son  of 
man,  it  shall  be  forgiven  him :  but  whosoever  speaketh  against  the  Holy 
Ghost,  it  shall  not  be  forgiven  him,  neither  in  this  world,  neither  in  the 
world  to  come :  because  they  said,  He  hath  an  imclean  spirit. 

"  Either  make  the  tree  good,  and  his  fruit  good ;  or  else  make  the  tree 
corrupt,  and  his  fruit  corrupt :  for  the  tree  is  known  by  his  fruit,  0  gener 
ation  of  vipers,  how  can  ye,  being  evil,  speak  good  things  ?  for  out  of  the 
abundance  of  the  heart  the  mouth  speaketh.  A  good  man  out  of  the  good 
treasure  of  the  heart  bringeth  forth  good  things :  and  an  evil  man  out  of  the 
evil  treasure  bringeth  forth  evil  things.  But  I  say  unto  you,  That  every 
idle  word  that  men  shall  speak,  they  shall  give  account  thereof  in  the  day 
of  judgment.  For  by  thy  words  thou  shalt  be  justified,  and  by  thy  words 
thou  shalt  be  condemned."

SEASIDE    PARABLES. 

K  same  day  went  Jesus  out  of  the  house,  and  sat  by  the 
seaside.  And  he  began  again  to  teach  by  the  seaside  : 
and  there  was  gathered  unto  him  a  great  multitude,  so 
that  he  entered  into  a  ship,  and  sat  in  the  sea  ;  and  the 
whole  multitude  was  by  the  sea  on  the  land. 

And  he  taught  them  many  things  by  parables,  and  said 
unto  them  in  his  doctrine,  "  Hearken  ;   Behold,  there  went  out  a

The  sower.

>o\ver  to  sow:  and  it  came  to  pass,  as  he  sowed,  some  fell  by 
the  wayside;  and  it  was  trodden  down,  and  the  fowls  of  the  air  devoured 
it.  And  some  fell  on  stony  ground,  where  it  had  not  much  earth  ;  and 
immediately  it  sprang  up,  because  it  had  no  depth  of  earth:  but  when  the 
sun  was  up,  it  was  scorched  ;  and  because  it  had  no  root,  it  withered  away. 
Ami  some  fell  among  thorns,  and  the  thorns  grew  up,  and  choked  it,  and  it 
yielded  no  fruit.  And  other  fell  on  good  ground,  and  did  yield  fruit  that 
sprang  up  and  increased;  and  brought  forth,  some  thirty,  and  some  sixty, 
and  some  an  hundred." 

And  when  he  had  said  these  things,  lie  cried,  "He  that  hath  ears  to  hear, 
let  him  hear." 

And  when  he  was  alone,  they  that  were  about  him  with  the  twelve  asked 
of  him  the  parable,  saying,  "  What  might  this  parable  be  I  and  why 
Bpeakest  thou  unto  them  in  parables?" 

And  he  said  unto  them,  "  Unto  you  it  is  given  to  know  the  mystery  of 
tlie  kingdom  of  God:  but  unto  them  that  are  without,  all  these  . 

Why  Jesus  taught 

things  are  done  in  parables.  For  whosoever  hath,  to  him  shall  ^p*1*1*1"1- 
\»-  given,  and  he  shall  have  more  abundance:  but  whosoever  hath  not, 
from  him  shall  be  taken  away  even  that  he  hath.  Therefore  speak  I  to 
tin-in  in  parables,  that  seeing  they  may  see,  and  not  perceive;  and  hearing 
they  may  hear,  and  not  understand;  lest  at  any  time  they  should  be  con 
verted.  and  their  sins  should  be  forgiven  them.  And  in  them  is  fulfilled  the 
prophecy  of  Isaiah,  which  saith,  By  hearing  ye  shall  hear,  and  shall  not 
understand;  and  seeing  ye  shall  see,  and  shall  not  perceive:  for  this

people's  heart  is  waxed  gross,  and  their  ears  are  dull  of  hearing-,  and  their 
eyes  they  have  closed ;  lest  at  any  time  they  should  see  with  their  eyes, 
and  hear  with  their  ears,  and  should  understand  with  their  heart,  and  should 
be  converted,  and  I  should  heal  them.  But  blessed  are  your  eyes,  for  they 
see :  and  your  ears,  for  they  hear.  For  verily  I  say  unto  you,  That  many 
prophets  and  righteous  men  have  desired  to  see  those  things  which  ye  see, 
and  have  not  seen  them;  and  to  hear  those  things  which  ye  hear,  and  have 
not  heard  them." 

And  he  said  unto  them,  "Know  ye  not  this  parable?  and  how  then  will 
ye  know  all  parables  I  Hear  ye  therefore  the  parable  of  the  sower. 
The  interprets,-  The  sower  soweth  the  word.  When  any  one  heareth  the  word

bie  of  the  sower.  of  the  kingdom,  and  understandeth  it  not,  then  cometh  the 
wicked  one,  and  catcheth  away  that  which  was  sown  in  his  heart.  This 
is  he  which  received  seed  by  the  wayside.  But  he  that  received  the  seed 


EASTERN    PLOWING    AND   SOWING. 


into  stony  places,  the  same  is  he  that  heareth  the  word,  and  anon  with  joy 
receiveth  it  ;  yet  hath  he  not  root  in  himself,  but  dureth  for  a  while  :  for 
when  tribulation  or  persecution  ariseth  because  of  the  word,  by  and  by  he 
is  offended.  He  also  that  received  seed  among  the  thorns  is  he  that  heareth 
the  word  ;  and  the  cares  of  this  world,  and  the  deceitfulness  of  riches,  and 
the  lusts  of  other  things  entering  in,  choke  the  word,  and  it  becometh  un 
fruitful.  But  he  that  received  seed  into  good  ground  is  he  that  heareth  the 
word,  and  receiveth  it  in  an  honest  and  good  heart  and  understandeth  it; 
which  also  beareth  fruit,  with  patience,  and  bringeth  forth,  some  an  hundred 
fold,  some  sixty,  some  thirty. 

"  No  man,  when  he  hath  lighted  a  candle,  covereth  it  with  a  vessel,  or 
putteth  it  under  a  bed  ;  but  setteth  it  on  a  candlestick,  that  they  which 
AH  hidden  things  en  tei*  in  may  see  the  li^ht.  For  nothing  is  secret,  that  shall

not  be  made  manifest  ;  neither  anything  hid,  that  shall  not  be 
known  and  come  abroad.  Take  heed  therefore  how  ye  hear  :  for  whoso 
ever  hath,  to  him  shall  be  given  ;  and  whosoever  hath  not,  from  him  shall 
be  taken  even  that  which  he  seemeth  to  have." 


THE  SEED,    THE  LEAVEN,    THE    TARES.

Another  parable  put  lie  forth  unto  thorn,  saving,  "The  kingdom  of  heaven 
is  likened  unto  a  man  which  sowed  good  seed  in  his  field  :  hut  while  men 
slept  his  enemy  eame  and  sowed  tares  among  the  wheat,  and 

The  Uires  in  tho 

went  his  way.  But  when  the  blade  was  sprung  up,  and  brought  fleld- 
forth  fruit,  then  appeared  the  tares  also.  So  the  servants  of  the;  house 
holder  came  and  said  unto  him,  "  Sir,  didst  not  thou  sow  o-ood  seed  in  thy 
Held?  from  whence  then  hath  it  tares.'"  lie  said  unto  them,  "An  enemy 
hath  done  this."  The  servants  said  unto  him,  4i  Wilt  tlmu  then  that  we  go 
and  "father  them  up?"  Hut  he  said,  "Nay;  lest  while  ye  gather  up  the 
tares,  ye  root  up  also  the  wheat  with  them.  Let  both  grow  together  until 
the  harvest:  and  in  the  time  of  harvest  1  will  say  to  the  reapers,  Gather  ye 
together  first  the  tares,  and  hind  them  in  hundles  to  burn  them:  hut  gather 
the  wheat  into  my  barn." 

And  he  said,  "So  is  the  kingdom  of  God,  as  if  a  man  should  cast  seed 
into  the  ground ;  and  should  sleep,  and  rise  night  and  day,  and  the  seed 

should  spring  and  «»TOW  up,  he  knoweth 

The  Reed  growing 

not  how.     For  the  earth  bringeth  forth  8ecretly- 
fruit  of  herself;   first  the  blade,  then  the  ear,  after 
that  the  full   corn   in  the  ear.      Hut  when  the  fruit 
is   hrought  forth,    immediately   he   putteth   in   the 
sickle,  because  the  harvest  is  come." 

Another  parable  put  he  forth  unto  them,  saying, 
"The  kingdom  of  heaven  is  like  to  a  grain  of 
mustard-seed,  which  a  man  took,  and  The  groin  of  mus- 
sowed  in  his  field :  which  indeed  is 
the  least  of  all  seeds:  but  when  it  is  grown,  it  is 
the  greatest  among-  herbs,  and  becometh  a  tree, 
so  that  the  birds  of  the  air  come  and  lodge  in  the 
branches  thereof." 

Another   parable    spake   he   unto    them :    "  The 
kingdom  of  heaven  is  like  unto  leaven,  The leaven  hid ^ 
which  a  woman  took,  and  hid  in  three 
measures  of  meal,  till  the  whole  was  leavened." 

All  these  things  spake  Jesus  unto  the  multitude 
in  parables;  as  they  were  able  to  hear  it.  Hut 
without  ;i  p;irahl«-  spake  he  not  unto  them:  and  when  they  were  alone,  he 
expounded  all  things  to  his  disciples :  that  it  might  be  fulfilled  which  was 
spoken  by  the  prophet,  saying,  "  I  will  open  my  mouth  in  parables;  I  will 
utter  things  which  have  been  kept  secret  from  the  foundation  of  the  world." 
Then  Jesus  sent  the  multitude  away,  and  went  into  the  house:  and  his 
disciples  came  unto  him,  saying,  "Declare  unto  us  the  parable  of  the  tares 
of  the  field."  He  answered  and  said  unto  them,  "  He  that  soweth  the  got»d

"Again,  tlie  kingdom  of  heaven  is  like  unto  a  net,  that  was  cast  into  the

shall  cast  them  into  the  furnace  of  fire:  there  shall  be  wailing  and  gnashing 
of  teeth." 

Jesus  saith  unto  them,  "  Have  ye  understood  all  these  things  ?  " 

They  say  unto  him,  Yea,  Lord. 

Then  said  he  unto  them,    "  Therefore  every  scribe  which  is  instructed

householder,   which   bringeth   forth   out   of  his   treasure   things 
new  and  old." 

And  it  came  to  pass,   that  when  Jesus  had  finished  these  parables,  he 
departed  thence.

THK    VOYAGE   TO    (JADAKA    AND    THK    HKTUKN. 

p   <  >\V    when  Jesus   saw    great    multitudes   about    him,  he    pave 
commandment  to  depart  unto  the  other  side.    And  when  he 


was  entered  into  a  ship,  his  disciples  followed  him,  and  they 
launched  forth.     And,  behold,  then4  arose  a  great  tempest 
in   the   sea,  insomuch   that   the   ship   was  covered   with   the 
waves.     And  he  was  in  the  hinder  part  of  the  ship,  asleep 
on  a  pillow  :  and  they  awake  him,  and  say  unto  him,  "  Master,  carest  thou 
not  that  we  perish  ?  "     And  he  arose,  and  rebuked  the  wind,  and  said  unto 
the  sea,  "  Peace,  be  still." 

And  the  wind  ceased,  and  there  was  a  great  calm.  And  he  said  unto 
them,  "  Why  are  ye  so  fearful  f  how  is  it  that  ye  have  no  faith ! "  And 
they  feared  exceedingly,  and  said  one  to  another,  "What  manner  of  man  is 
this,  that  even  the  wind  and  the  sea  obey  him  ?" 

And  they  came  over  unto  the  other  side  of  the  sea,  into  the  country  of  the 
Gadarenes,  which  is  over  against  Galilee.  And  Avhen  he  was  come  out  of 
the  ship,  immediately  there  met  him  out  of  the  tombs  a  man,  which  had 
devils  long  time,  and  ware  no  clothes,  who  had  his  dwelling  among  the 
tombs;  and  no  man  could  bind  him,  no,  not  with  chains:  because  that  he 
had  been  often  bound  with  fetters  and  chains,  and  the  chains  had  been 
plucked  asunder  by  him,  and  the  fetters  broken  in  pieces:  neither  could  any 
man  tame  him.  And  always,  night  and  day,  he  was  in  the  mountains,  and 
in  the  tombs,  crying,  and  cutting  himself  with  stones.  Hut  when  he  saw 
Jesus  afar  off,  he  ran  and  worshiped  him,  and  cried  with  a  loud  voice,  and 
said,  "What  have  I  to  do  with  thee,  Jesus,  thou  Son  of  the  most  high  God? 
1  adjure  thee  by  God,  that  thou  torment  me  not."  For  he  said  unto  him, 
uCome  out  of  the  man,  thou  unclean  spirit."  And  he  asked  him,  "  What  is 
thy  name  ? "  And  he  answered,  saying,  "  My  name  is  Legion  :  for  we  are 
many."  And  he  besought  him  much  that  he  would  not  send  them  away  out 
of  the  country,  into  the  deep. 

Now  there  was  there  nigh  unto  the  mountains  a  great  herd  of  swine 
feeding.  And  all  the  devils  besought  him,  saying,  "  Send  us  into  the  swine, 


93 


THE   VOYAGE   TO    GADARA   AND    THE  RETURN. 


97 


that  we  may  enter  into  them."  And  forthwith  Jesus  gave  them  leave.  And 
the  unclean  spirits  went  out,  and  entered  into  the  swine:  and  the  herd  ran 
violently  down  a  steep  place  into  the  sea,  (they  were  about  two  thousand;) 
and  were  choked  in  the  sea.  And  they  that  fed  the  swine  fled,  and  told  it 
in  the  city,  and  in  the  country.  And  they  went  out  to  see  what  it  was  that 
was  done;  and  came  to  Jesus,  and  found  the  man  out  of  whom  the  devils 
\\en-  departed,  sitting  at  the  feet  of  Jesus,  clothed  and  in  his  right  mind: 
and  they  were  afraid.  And  they  that  saw  it  told  them  how  it  befell  to  him 
that  was  possessed  with  the  devil,  and  also  concerning  the  swine.  Then  the 

whole  multitude  of  the  country  of  the  (iadarenes  round  about  besought  him 

•i 

to  depart  from  them;  for  they  were  taken  with  great  fear:  and  he  went  up 
into  the  ship,  and  returned  back  again.  Now  the  man  out  of  whom  the 
devils  were  departed  besought  him  that  he  might  be  with  him.  Ilowbeit 
Jesu-  MI  tiered  him  not,  but  saith  unto  him,  "Go  home  to  thy  friends,  and 
tell  them  how  great  things  the  Lord  hath  done  for  thee,  and  hath  had  com 
passion  on  thee."  And  he  departed,  and  began  to  publish  in  Decapolis  how 
irivat  things  Jesus  had  done  for  him :  and  all  men  did  marvel. 

And  he  entered  into  a  ship,  and  passed  over,  and  came  into  his  own  city. 
And  much  people  gathered  unto  him,  for  they  were  all  waiting  for  him. 


CHAPTER    XV. 

THE    RAISING    OF    JAIRUS'S    DAUGHTER   TO    THE    MISSION    OF    TIIF 

TWELVE. 

behold,  there  cometh  one  of  the  rulers  of  the  synagogue, 
Jairus  by  name  ;  and  when  he  saw  him,  he  fell  at  his  feet, 
and  besought  him  greatly,  saying,  "  My  little  daughter 
Ik'th  at  the  point  of  death,"  (for  he  had  one  only  daugh 
ter:)  "I  pray  thee,  come  and  lay  thy  hands  on  her,  that 
she  may  be  healed  ;  and  she  shall  live." 
And  Jesus  arose,  and  followed  him,  and  so  did  his  disciples,  and  much 
people  followed  him,  and  thronged  him.  And  a  certain  woman,  which  had 
.111  issue  of  blood  twelve  years,  and  had  suffered  many  things  of  many  phy 
sicians,  and  had  spent  all  that  she  had,  and  was  nothing  bettered,  but  rather 
gn-w  worse,  when  she  had  heard  of  Jesus,  came  in  the  press  behind,  and 
touched  his  garment.  For  she  said,  "  If  I  may  touch  but  his  clothes,  I  shall 
!><•  whole."  And  straightway  the  fountain  of  her  blood  was  dried  up:  and 
she  felt  in  her  body  that  she  was  healed  of  that  plague.  And  Jesus  said, 
"  Who  touched  me  ?  "  When  all  denied,  Peter  and  they  that  were  with  him 
said.  "  .Master,  the  multitude  throng  thee  and  press  thee,  and  sayest  thou, 
4  Who  touched  me  ?'  And  Jesus  said,  "  Somebody  hath  touched  me:  for  I 
perceive  that  virtue  is  gone  out  of  me." 

And  when  the  woman  saw  that  she  was  not  hid,  she  came  trembling,  and 
falling  down  before  him,  she  declared  unto  him  before  all  the  people  for 
what  cause  she  had  touched  him,  and  how  she  was  healed  immediately. 
And  he  said  unto  her,  "  Daughter,  be  of  good  comfort:  thy  faith  hath  made 
thee  whole ;  go  in  peace,  and  be  whole  of  thy  plague." 

While  he  yet  spake,  there  came  from  the  ruler  of  the  synagogue's  house 
certain  which  said,  u  Thy  daughter  is  dead:  why  troublest  thou  the  Master 
any  further  .' "  As  soon  as  Jesus  heard  the  word  that  was  spoken,  he  saith 
unto  the  ruler  of  the  synagogue,  "  Be  not  afraid,  only  believe,  Theruier.Bdan»h. 
and  she  shall  he  made  whole."  And  he  suffered  no  man  to  ^rSYroith* 
follow  him,  save  Peter,  and  James,  and  John  the  brother  of  c 
James.  And  he  cometh  to  the  house  of  the  ruler  of  the  synagogue,  and 
seeth  the  tumult,  and  them  that  wept  and  wailed  greatly.  And  when  he

THE  KAIftrNG    OF  JAIRUF    DAUGHTER.  101 

was  conic  in,  lie  saith  unto  them,  "Why  make  ye  this  ado,  and  weep?" 
And  thcv  laughed  him  to  scorn,  knowing  that  she  was  dead.  Hut  when  he 
had  put  them  all  out,  he  taketh  the  father  and  the  mother  of  the  damsel, 
and  thorn  that  were  with  him,  and  entered  in  where  the  damsel  was  lying1. 
And  he  took  the  damsel  by  the  hand,  and  said  unto  her,  "  Talitha  cumi " ; 
(which  is,  being  interpreted,  "Damsel,  I  say  unto  thee,  arise.") 

And  straightway  the  damsel  arose,  and  walked ;  for  she  was  of  the  age 
of  twelve  years.  And  they  were  astonished  with  a  great  astonishment. 
And  he  charged  them  straitly  that  no  man  should  know  it;  and  commanded 
that  something  should  be  given  her  to  eat.  And  the  fame  hereof  went 
abroad  into  all  that  land. 

And  when  Jesus  departed  thence,  two  blind  men  followed  him,  crying, 
and  saving,  "Thou  son  of  David,  have  mercy  on  us."     And  when  he  was 
co;ue  into  the  house,  the  blind  men  came  to  him  :  and  Jesus  saith  unto 
them,    "  Believe   ye   that  I  am  able   to   do  this  I  "      They  said   unto  him, 
"Yea,  Lord."     Then  touched  he  their  eyes,  saying,   "Accord-  Twoblindmen 
ing  to  your  faith  be  it  unto  you."    And  their  eyes  were  opened;  areheal 
ami  -Jesus  straitly  charged  them,  saying,  "  See  that  no  man  know  it."     But 
they,  when  they  were  departed,  spread  abroad  his  fame  in  all  that  country. 

A-   they  went  out,  behold,  they  brought  to  him  a  dumb  man  possessed 
with  a  devil.    And  when  the  devil  was  cast  out,  the  dumb  spake :  Adumbdemoniac 
and  the  multitudes  marveled,  saying,  "  It  was  never  so  seen  in  healed- 
Israel."     But  the  Pharisees  said,  "  He  casteth  out  devils  through  the  prince 
of  the  devils." 

And  he  went  out  from  thence,  and  came  into  his  own  country;-;  ancj Jiis 
disciples  follow  him.  And  when  the  sabbath  day  was  come,  hevb^gan  to 
teach  in  the  synagogue:  and  many  hearing  him  were  astor<-  neJ?acheiLm 
ishcd,  saying,  "Whence  hath  this  man  this  wisdom,  and  these  Nazan 
mighty  works  ?  Is  not  this  the  carpenter's  son  ?  is  not  his  mother  called 
Mary  .'  and  his  brethren,  James,  and  Joses,  and  Simon,  and  Judas?  and 
his  sisters,  are  they  not  all  with  us  ?  Whence  then  hath  this  man  all  these 
things  !  "  And  they  were  offended  in  him.  But  Jesus  said  unto  them,  "  A 
prophet  is  not  without  honor,  but  in  his  own  country,  and  among  his  own 
kin,  and  in  his  own  house."  And  he  could  there  do  no  mighty  work,  save 
that  he  laid  his  hands  upon  a  few  sick  folk,  and  healed  them.  And  he  mar 
veled  because  of  their  unbelief. 

But   when  he  saw  the  multitudes,   he  was  moved   with   compassion   on 
them.  IH  cause  they  fainted,  and  were  scattered  abroad,  as  sheep  having  no 
shepherd.     Then  saith  he  unto  his  disciples,  "  The  harvest  truly  H    itieththe 
is  plenteous,   but  the  laborers  are  few;   pray  ye  therefore  the  mu* 
L-»rd  of  the  harvest,  that  he  will  send  forth  laborers  into  his  harvest." 

And  when  he  had  called  unto  him  his  twelve  disciples,  he  gave  them

in:; 


power  against  unclean  spirits,  to  cast  them  out,  and  to  heal  all  manner  of 
M.-kness  and  all  manner  of  disease.     And  he  began  to  send  them  forth  by 
two  and  t\vo;  and  commanded  them,  saying,  "Go  not  into  the  H.  ..ndeth  out 
way  of  the  Gentiles,  and  into  any  city  of  the  Samaritans  enter  SKS£ 
\  e  not:  but  go  rather  to  the  lost  sheep  of  the  house  of  Israel.      And  as  ye 
go,   preach,  saying,  The  kingdom  of  heaven  is  at  hand.      Heal  the  sick, 
cleanse  the  lepers,  raise  the  dead,  cast  out  devils:  freely  ye  have  received, 
fret -I  y  irivo.      Provide  neither  gold,  nor  silver,  nor  brass  in  your  purses,  nor 
-.-rip  for  your  journey,  nor  yet  staves,  neither  two  coats,  neither  shoes,  but 
be  shod  with  sandals :  for  the  workman  is  worthy 
of  lu's  meat.     And  into  whatsoever  city  or  town 
ye  shall  enter,  inquire  who  in  it  is  worthy;  and 
there  abide  till  ye  go  thence.    And  when  ye  come 
into  an   house,  salute  it.      And  if  the  house  be 
worthy,  let  your  peace  come  upon  it :  but  if  it 
be  not   worthy,    let   your  peace  return  to  you. 
And  whosoever  shall  not  receive  you,  nor  hear 
your  words,  when  ye  depart  out  of  that  house  or 
city,  shake  off  the  dust  of  your  feet,  for  a  testi 
mony  against  them.     Verily  I  say  unto  you,  It 
-hall  be  more  tolerable  for  the  land  of  Sodom 
and  Gomorrah  in  the  day  of  judgment,  than  for 
that   city. 

"  Behold,  I  send  you  forth  as  sheep  in  the 
midst  of  wolves;  be  ye  therefore  wise  as  ser 
pents,  and  harmless  as  doves.  But  beware  of 
men  ;  for  they  will  deliver  you  up  to  the  coun 
cils,  and  they  will  scourge  you  in  their  syna 
gogues  ;  and  ye  shall  be  brought  before  governors  and  kings  for  my  sake, 
for  a  testimony  against  them  and  the  Gentiles.  But  when  they  deliver 
you  up,  take  no  thought  how  or  what  ye  shall  speak  :  for  it  shall  be  given 
you  in  that  same  hour  what  ye  shall  speak.  For  it  is  not  ye  that  speak,  but 
the  Spirit  of  your  Father  which  speaketh  in  you.  And  the  brother  shall 
deliver  up  the  brother  to  death,  and  the  father  the  child  :  and  the  children 
shall  rise  up  against  their  parents,  and  cause  them  to  be  put  to  death.  And 
ye  shall  be  hated  of  all  men  for  my  name's  sake:  but  he  that  endureth  to  the 
end  shall  be  saved.  But  when  they  persecute  you  in  this  city,  flee  ye  into 
another:  for  verily  I  say  unto  you,  Ye  shall  not  have  gone  over  the  cities 
of  Israel,  till  the  Son  of  man  be  come.  The  disciple  is  not  above  his  mas 
ter,  nor  the  servant  above  his  lord.  It  is  enough  for  the  disciple  that  he  be 
as  hU  master,  and  the  servant  as  his  lord.  If  they  have  called  the  master  of 
the  house  Beelzebub,  how  much  more  shall  they  call  them  of  his  household  f

"Fear  them  not  therefore :  for  there  is  nothing  covered,  that  shall  not  be 
revealed ;  and  hid,  that  shall  not  be  known.  What  I  tell  yon  in  darkness, 
that  speak  ye  in  light :  and  what  ye  hear  in  the  ear,  that  preach  ye  upon 
the  house-tops.  And  fear  not  them  which  kill  the  body,  but  are  not  able  to 
kill  the  soul  ;  but  rather  fear  him  which  is  able  to  destroy  both  soul  ;m<l 
body  in  hell.  Are  not  two  sparrows  sold  for  a  farthing  ?  and  one  of  them 
shall  not  fall  on  the  ground  without  your  Father.  But  the  very  hairs  of 
your  head  are  all  numbered.  Fear  ye  not,  therefore,  ye  are  of  more  value 
than  many  sparrows.  Whosoever  therefore  shall  confess  me  before  men,

my  sake  shall  find  it, 

"  He  that  receiveth  you  receiveth  me,  and  he  that  receiveth  me  receiveth 
him  that  sent  me.  He  that  receiveth  a  prophet  in  the  name  of  a  prophet 
shall  receive  a  prophet's  reward  ;  and  he  that  receiveth  a  righteous  man  in 
the  name  of  a  righteous  man  shall  receive  a  righteous  man's  reward.  And 
whosoever  shall  give  to  drink  unto  one  of  these  little  ones  a  cup  of  cold 
water  only  in  the  name  of  a  disciple,  verily  I  say  unto  you,  he  shall  in  no 
wise  lose  his  reward." 

And  they  went  out  and  preached  that  men  should  repent.  And  they 
cast  out  many  devils,  and  anointed  with  oil  many  that  were  „

sick,  and  healed  them  everywhere. 

And  it  came  to  pass,  that  when  Jesus  had  made  an  end  of  commanding 
his  twelve  disciples,  he  departed  thence  to  teach  and  to  preach  The  departure  of

And  king  Herod  heard  of  him;   (for  his  name  was  spread  abroad;)  and 
he  said,  That  John  the  Baptist  was  risen  from  the  dead,  and  Herodhearaof 
therefore    mighty    works    do    show   forth    themselves    in    him.  ( 
Others  said,  "That  it  is  Elias."     And  others  said,  "That  it  is  a  prophet, 
or  as  one  of  the  prophets."     But  when  Herod  heard  thereof,  he  said,  "  It 
is  John,  whom  I  beheaded :    he  is  risen  from  the  dead." 

For  Herod  himself  had  sent  forth  and  laid  hold  upon  John,  and  bound 
him  in  prison  for  Herodias's  sake,  his  brother  Philip's  wife  ;  for  he  had

married  her.     For  John  had  said  unto  Herod,  "  It  is  not  lawful  for  tliee 
to  have  thy  brother's  wife."      Therefore  Herodias  had  a  quarrel 

The  imprison-  •/ 

against  him,  and  would  have  killed  him  ;  but  she  could  not : 
For  Herod  feared  John,  knowing  that  he  was  a  just  man  and  a  holy,  and 
observed  him ;  and  when  he  heard  him,  he  did  many  things,  and  heard  him 
gladly. 

And  when  a  convenient  day  was  come,  that  Herod  on  his  birthday  made 
a  supper  to  his  lords,  high  captains,  and  chief  estates  of  Galilee ;  and 
when  the  daughter  of  the  said  Herodias  came  in,  and  danced,  and  pleased 
Herod  and  them  that  sat  with  him,  the  king  said  unto  the  damsel,  "Ask  of 
me  whatsoever  thou  wilt,  and  I  give  it  thee."  And  he  sware  unto  her, 
"  Whatsoever  thou  slialt  ask  of  me,  I  will  give  it  thee,  unto  the  half  of  my 
kingdom."  And  she  went  forth,  and  said  unto  her  mother,  "  What  shall  I 
ask?"  And  she  said,  "The  head  of  John  the  Baptist,"  And  she  came  in 
straightway  with  haste  unto  the  king,  and  asked,  saying,  I  will  that  thou 
give  me  by  and  by  in  a  charger  the  head  of  John  the  Baptist. 

And  the  king  was  exceeding  sorry ;     yet    for    his    oath's  sake,  and  for 

their  sakes  which  sat  with  him,  he  would  not  reject  her.      And  immediately 

the  kiii<4-  sent  an  executioner,  and  commanded  his  head  to  be

brought  his  head  in  a  charger,  and  gave  it  to  the  damsel;  and  the  damsel 
gave  it  to  her  mother. 

And  when  his  disciples  heard  of  it,  they  came  and  took  up  his  corpse, 
and  laid  it  in  the  tomb. 

And  the  apostles,  when  they  were  returned,  gathered  themselves  together 

The  apostles  re-     unto  Jesus,  and  told  him  all  things,  both  what  they  had  done, 

and  what  they  had  taught.     And  he  said  unto  them,   "  Come 

ye  yourselves  apart  into  a  desert  place,  and  rest  awhile  " :  for  there  were 

many  coming  and  going,  and  they  had  no  leisure  so  much  as  to  eat.

Jesus  retires  to 
Bethsaida  to  rest, 
and  is  followed  by 
the  multitudes. 


THE   FEEDING   OF   THE   FIVE   THOUSAND. 

ND  Jesus  went  over  the  sea  of  Galilee,  which  is  the  sea  of 
Tiberias,  into  a  desert  place  belonging-  to  the  city  called 
Bethsaida.     And  a  great  multitude  followed  him,  because 
they  saw  his  miracles  which  he   did  on  them  that  were 
diseased.     And  Jesus  went  up  into  a  mountain,   and  there 
he  sat  with  his  disciples.      And  the  passover,  a  feast  of 
the  Jews,  was  nigh.     When  Jesus  then  lifted  up  his  eyes,  and  saw  a  great 
company  come  unto  him,  he  was  moved  with   compassion  toward  them, 
because  they  were  as   sheep  not  having  a  shepherd :    and  he 
began  to  teach  them  many  things,  and  healed  them  that  had 
need  of  healing. 

And  when  the  day  was  now  far  spent,  he  saith  unto  Philip,  "  Whence 
shall  we  buy  bread,  that  these  may  eat  1 "  And  this  he  said  to  prove  him : 
for  he  himself  knew  what  he  would  do.  Philip  answered  him,  "  Two  hun 
dred  pennyworth  of  bread  is  not  sufficient  for  them,  that  every  one  of  them 
may  take  a  little."  One  of  his  disciples,  Andrew,  Simon  Peter's  brother, 

i/  L  ' 

saitli  unto  him,  "  There  is  a  lad  here,  which  hath  five  barley  loaves,  and 
two  small  fishes  :  but  what  are  they  among  so  many  1  "  And 
Jesus  said,  "  Make  them  sit  down  by  fifties  in  a  company." 
Now  there  was  much  grass  in  the  place.  So  the  men  sat  down,  in  number 
about  five  thousand. 

Then  he  took  the  five  loaves  and  the  two  fishes,  and  looking  up  to  heaven, 
he  blessed  them,  and  brake,  and  gave  to  the  disciples  to  set  before  the 
multitude.  And  they  did  eat,  and  were  all  filled.  When  they  were  filled,  he 
said  unto  his  disciples,  "  Gather  up  the  fragments  that  remain,  that  nothing 
be  lost."  Therefore  they  gathered  them  together,  and  filled  twelve  baskets 
with  the  fragments  of  the  five  barley  loaves,  which  remained  over  and 
above  unto  them  that  had  eaten.  Then  those  men,  when  they  had  seen  the 
miracle  that  Jesus  did,  said,  "  This  is  of  a  truth  that  prophet  that  should 
come  into  the  world." 

When  Jesus  therefore  perceived  that  they  would  come  and  take  him  by

force,  to  make  him  a  king-,  he  departed  again  into  a  mountain  himself  alone. 
And  when  even  was  now  come,  his  disciples  went  down  unto  the  sea,  and 
entered  into  a  ship,  and  went  over  the  sea  toward  Capernaum.  And  it  was 
now  dark,  and  Jesus  was  not  come  to  them.  But  the  ship  was  now  in  the 
midst  of  the  sea,  tossed  with  waves  :  for  the  wind  was  contrary.  And  lie 
saw  them  toiling-  in  rowing,  for  the  wind  was  contrary  unto  them.  And  in 
the  fourth  watch  of  the  night  Jesus  went  unto  them,  walking1  on 

Christ  walked  on 

the  sea.  And  when  the  disciples  saw  him  walking  on  the  sea, 
they  were  troubled,  saying,  "It  is  a  spirit";  and  they  cried  out  for  fear. 
But  straightway  Jesus  spake  unto  them,  saying,  "  Be  of  good  cheer;  it  is 
I ;  be  not  afraid."  And  Peter  answered  him  and  said,  "  Lord,  if  it  be  thou, 
bid  me  come  unto  thee  on  the  water."  And  he  said,  "  Come." 

And  when  Peter  was  come  down  out  of  the  ship,  he  walked  on  the  water, 
to  go  to  Jesus.  But  when  lie  saw  the  wind  boisterous,  he  was  afraid;  and 
beginning  to  sink,  he  cried,  saying,  "Lord,  save  me."  And  immediately 
Jesus  stretched  forth  his  hand,  and  caught  him,  and  said  unto  him,  "  0  thou 
of  little  faith,  wherefore  didst  thou  doubt?" 

And  when  they  were  come  into  the  ship,  the  wind  ceased,  and  imme 
diately  the  ship  was  at  the  land  whither  they  went.  Then  they  that  were 
in  the  ship  came  and  worshiped  him,  saying,  "Of  a  truth  thou  art  the  Son 
of  God." 

And  when  they  had  passed  over,  they  came  into  the  land  of  Gennesaret, 
and  drew  out  to  the  shore.  And  when  they  were  come  out  of  the  ship, 
straightway  the}'  knew  him,  and  ran  through  that  whole  region  round

where  they  heard  he  was.  And  whithersoever  he  entered,  into 
villages,  or  cities,  or  country,  they  laid  the  sick  in  the  streets,  and  besought 
him  that  they  might  touch  if  it  were  but  the  border  of  his  garment :  and 
as  many  as  touched  him  were  made  whole.

The  day  following,  when  the  people  which  stood  on  the  other  side  of  the 
sea  saw  that  there  was  none  other  boat  there,  save  that  one  whereinto  his 
disciples  were  entered,  and  that  Jesus  went  not  with  his  disciples  into  the 
boat,  but  that  his  disciples  were  gone  away  alone  ;  (howbeit  there  came 
other  boats  from  Tiberias  nio-h  unto  the  place  where  they  did  eat  bread, 

O  _I_  v 

after  that  the  Lord  had  given  thanks  :)  when  the  people  therefore  saw  that 
Jesus  was  not  there,  neither  his  disciples,  they  also  took  shipping,  and  came 
to  Capernaum,  seeking  for  Jesus.  And  when  they  had  found  him  on  the 
other  side  of  the  sea,  they  said  unto  him,  "Rabbi,  when  earnest  thou 
hither?"  Jesus  answered  them  and  said,  "Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  you, 
ye  seek  me,  not  because  ye  saw  the  miracles,  but  because  ye  did  eat  of  the 
loaves,  and  were  filled.  Labor  not  for  the  meat  which  perisheth,  but  for 
that  meat  which  endureth  unto  everlasting  life,  which  the  Son  of  man  shall 


1 12  THE  BREAD  FROM  HEAVEN. 

give  unto  you :  for  him  hath  God  the  Father  sealed."  Then  said  they  unto 
him,  "  What  shall  we  do,  that  we  might  work  the  works  of  God  ?  "  Jesus 
answered  and  said  unto  them,  "  This  is  the  work  of  God,  that  ye  believe  on 
him  whom  he  hath  sent." 

They  said  therefore  unto  him,  "  What   sign  shewest  thou  then,  that  we 

may  see,  and  believe  thee  ?   what  dost  thou  work  \     Our  fathers  did  eat 

manna  in  the  desert ;  as  it  is  written,  He  gave  them  bread  from 

The   bread   from 

heaven  to  eat."  Then  said  Jesus  unto  them,  "  Verily,  verily,  I 
say  unto  you,  Moses  gave  you  not  that  bread  from  heaven ;  but  my 
Father  <riveth  you  the  true  bread  from  heaven.  For  the  bread  of  God  is  lie 

o  «/ 

which  conieth  down  from  heaven,  and  giveth  life  unto  the  world."  Then 
said  they  unto  him,  "  Lord,  evermore  give  us  this  bread."  And  Jesus  said 
unto  them,  "  I  am  the  bread  of  life  :  he  that  cometh  to  me  shall  never 
Inuiii-er ;  and  he  that  believeth  on  me  shall  never  thirst.  But  I  said  unto 

o  ' 

you,  That  ye  also  have  seen  me,  and  believe  not.  All  that  the  Father  giv 
eth  me  shall  come  to  me  ;  and  him  that  cometh  to  me  I  will  in  no  wise  cast 
out.  For  I  came  down  from  heaven,  not  to  do  mine  own  Avill,  but  the  will 
of  him  that  sent  me.  And  this  is  the  Father's  will  which  hath  sent  me,  that 
of  all  which  he  hath  given  me  I  should  lose  nothing,  but  should  raise  it  up 
again  at  the  last  day.  And  this  is  the  will  of  him  that  sent  me,  that  every 
one  which  seeth  the  Son,  and  believeth  on  him,  may  have  everlasting  life : 
and  I  will  raise  him  up  at  the  last  day." 

The  Jews  then  murmured  at  him,  because  he  said,  I  am  the  bread  which 
came  down  from  heaven.  And  they  said,  "  Is  not  this  Jesus,  the  son  of 
Joseph,  whose  father  and  mother  we  know  ?  how  is  it  then  that  he  saith, 
I  came  down  from  heaven  !  "  Jesus  therefore  answered  and  said  unto  them, 
"  Murmur  not  among  yourselves.  No  man  can  come  to  me,  except  the 
Father  which  hath  sent  me  draw  him  :  and  I  will  raise  him  up  at  the  last 
day.  It  is  written  in  the  prophets,  And  they  shall  be  all  taught  of  God. 
Every  man  therefore  that  hath  heard,  and  hath  learned  of  the  Father,  com 
eth  unto  me.  Not  that  any  man  hath  seen  the  Father,  save  he  which  is  of 
God,  he  hath  seen  the  Father.  Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  you,  He  that 
believeth  on  me  hath  everlasting  life.  I  am  that  bread  of  life.  Your 
fathers  did  eat  manna  in  the  wilderness,  and  are  dead.  This  is  the  bread 
which  cometh  down  from  heaven,  that  a  man  may  eat  thereof  and  not  die. 
I  am  the  living  bread  which  came  down  from  heaven  :  if  any  man  eat  of 
this  bread,  he  shall  live  forever :  and  the  bread  that  I  will  give  is  my  flesh, 
which  I  will  give  for  the  life  of  the  world." 

The  Jews  therefore  strove  among  themselves,  saying,  "  How  can  thi« 
man  give  us  his  flesh  to  eat  1 "  Then  Jesus  said  unto  them,  Verily,  verily, 
I  say  unto  you,  Except  ye  eat  the  flesh  of  the  Son  of  man,  and  drink  his 
blood,  ye  have  no  life  in  you.  Whoso  eateth  my  flesh,  and  drinketh  my 


114  MANY  DISCIPLES  FORSAKE  HIM. 

blood,  hath  eternal  life  ;  and  I  will  raise  him  up  at  the  last  day.  For  my 
flesh  is  meat  indeed,  and  my  blood  is  drink  indeed.  He  that  eateth  my 
flesh,  and  drinketh  my  blood,  dwelleth  in  me,  and  I  in  him.  As  the  living 
Father  hath  sent  me,  and  I  live  by  the  Father :  so  he  that  eateth  me,  even 
he  shall  live  by  me.  This  is  that  bread  which  came  down  from  heaven  : 
not  as  your  fathers  did  eat  manna,  and  are  dead :  he  that  eateth  of  this 
bread  shall  live  forever."  These  things  said  he  in  the  synagogue,  as  he 
taught  in  Capernaum. 

Many  therefore  of  his  disciples,  when  they  had  heard  of  this,  said,  "This 
is  an  hard  saying- ;   who  can  hear  it  ?  "     When  Jesus  knew  in 

Many  disciples  •> 

himself  that  his  disciples  murmured  at  it,  he  said  unto  them, 
"  Doth  this  offend  you?  What  and  if  ye  shall  see  the  Son  of  man  ascend 
up  where  he  was  before  ?  it  is  the  spirit  that  quickeneth  ;  the  flesh  profiteth 
nothing :  the  words  that  I  speak  unto  you,  they  are  spirit,  and  they  are  life. 
But  there  are  some  of  you  that  believe  not,"  For  Jesus  knew  from  the 
beginning  who  they  were  that  believed  not,  and  who  should  betray  him. 
And  he  said,  "  Therefore  said  I  unto  you,  that  no  man  can  come  unto  me, 
except  it  were  given  unto  him  of  my  Father. " 

From  that  time   many  of  his   disciples  went  back,  and  walked   no  more 

with  him.     Then  said  Jesus  unto  the  twelve,  "  Will  ye  also  gx> 

The  twelve  cleave  •/  o 

away  f "  Then  Simon  Peter  answered  him,  "  Lord,  to  whom 
shall  we  go  ?  thou  hast  the  words  of  eternal  life.  And  we  believe  and  are 
sure  that  thou  art  that  Christ,  the  Son  of  the  living  God."  Jesus  answered 
them,  "  Have  not  I  chosen  you  twelve,  and  one  of  you  is  a  devil !  "  He 
spake  of  Judas  Iscariot  the  son  of  Simon  :  for  he  it  was  that  should  betray 
him,  being  one  of  the  twelve. 

After  these  things  Jesus  walked  in  Galilee  :  for  he  would  not  walk   in 
Jewry,  because  the  Jews  sought  to  kill  him.

of  the  scribes,  which  came  from  Jerusalem.  And  when

they  found  fault.  For  the  Pharisees,  and  all  the  Jews, 
except  .they  wash  their  hands  oft,  eat  not,  holding  the  tradition  of  the 
elders.  And  when  they  come  from  the  market,  except  they  wash,  they  eat 
not  And  many  other  things  there  be,  which  they  have  received  to  hold, 
as  the  washing  of  cups,  and  pots,  and  brazen  vessels,  and  of  tables.  Then 
the  Pharisees  and  scribes  asked  him,  u  Whv  walk  not  thy  disciples  ac 
cording  to  the  tradition  of  the  elders,  but  eat  bread  with  unwashen 
hands f" 

He  answered  and  said  unto  them,  "  Well   hath  Isaiah  prophesied  of  you 
hypocrites,  as  it  is  written,  'This  people  honoreth  me  with  their  He  reimketh  them 

1*1  Ai      •      i  c          r  concerning  their

worship  me,  teaching  for  doctrines  the  commandments  of  men.'  For  laying 
aside  the  commandment  of  God,  ye  hold  the  tradition  of  men,  as  the  wash 
ing  of  pots  and  cups  :  and  many  other  such  like  things  ye  do."  And  he 
said  unto  them,  "  Full  well  ye  reject  the  commandment  of  God,  that  ye 
may  keep  your  own  tradition.  For  Moses  said,  '  Honor  thy  father  and  thy 
mother';  and,  'Whoso  curseth  father  or  mother,  let  him  die  the  death': 
but  ye  say,  'If  a  man  shall  say  to  his  father  or  mother,  It  is  Corban,  that  is 
to  say,  a  gift,  by  whatsoever  thon  mightest  be  profited  by  me';  he  shall  be

making  the  word  of  God  of  none  effect  through  your  tradition,  which  ye 
have  delivered  :  and  many  such  like  things  do  ye." 

And  when  he  had  called  all  the   people  unto  him,  he   said  unto  them, 
u  Hearken  unto  me  every  one  of  you,  and  understand:  There  is  out  of  the  heart 
nothing  from  without  a  man,  that  entering  into  him  can  defile  thought*. 
him:  but  the  things  which  come  out  of  him,  those  are  they  that  defile  the

man.  If  any  man  have  ears  to  hear,  let  him  hear."  And  when  he  was 
entered  into  the  house  from  the  people,  his  disciples  said  unto  him,  "Know- 
est  thou  that  the  Pharisees  were  offended,  after  they  heard  this  saying- 1 " 
But  he  answered  and  said,  "Every  plant,  which  my  heavenly  Father  hath 
not  planted,  shall  be  rooted  up.  Let  them  alone  :  they  be  blind  leaders  of 
the  blind.  And  if  the  blind  lead  the  blind,  both  shall  fall  into  the  ditch." 
Then  answered  Peter  arid  said  unto  him,  "Declare  unto  us  this  parable." 
And  Jesus  said,  "  Are  ye  also  yet  without  understanding  ?  Do  ye  not  per 
ceive,  that  whatsoever  thing  from  without  entereth  into  the  man,  it  cannot 
defile  him  ;  because  it  entereth  not  into  his  heart,  but  into  the  belly,  and 
goeth  out  into  the  draught,  purging  all  meats'?"  And  he  said,  "That  which 
cometli  out  of  the  man,  that  defileth  the  man.  For  from  within,  out  of  the 
heart  of  men,  proceed  evil  thoughts,  adulteries,  fornications,  murders,  thefts, 
covetousness,  wickedness,  deceit,  lasciviousness,  an  evil  eye,  blasphemy, 
pride,  foolishness :  all  these  evil  things  come  from  within,  and  defile  the 
man  :  but  to  eat  with  unwashen  hands  defileth  not  a  man." 

And  from  thence  he  arose,  and  went  into  the  borders  of  Tyre  and  Sidon, 
The  demoniac  anc^  entered  into  an  house,  and  would  have  no  man  know  it :

at  his  feet :  the  woman  was  a  Greek,  a  Syrophenician  by  nation  ;  and  she 
besought  him  that  he  would  cast  forth  the  devil  out  of  her  daughter.  But 
he  answered  her  not  a  word.  And  his  disciples  came  and  besought  him, 
saying,  Send  her  away  ;  for  she  crieth  after  us.  But  he  answered  and  said, 
"  Let  the  children  first  be  filled  :  for  it  is  not  meet  to  take  the  children's 
bread,  and  to  cast  it  unto  the  dogs."  And  she  said,  "  Truth,  Lord  :  yet  the 
dogs  eat  of  the  crumbs  which  fall  from  their  master's  table."  Then  Jesus 
answered  and  said  unto  her,  "  0  woman,  great  is  thy  faith  :  be  it  unto  thee 

'     o  i/ 

even  as  thou  wilt."  And  her  daughter  was  made  whole  from  that  very 
hour. 

And  again,  departing  from  the  coasts  of  Tyre  and  Sidon,  he  came  unto 
the  sea  of  Galilee,  through  the  midst  of  the  coasts  of  Decapolis.  And  they 
bring  unto  him  one  that  was  deaf,  and  had  an  impediment  in  his  speech ; 
and  they  beseech  him  to  put  his  hand  upon  him.  And  he  took  him  aside 
from  the  multitude,  and  put  his  fingers  into  his  ears,  and  he  spit,  and 
He  heaieth  a  deaf  touched  his  tongue  ;  and  looking  up  to  heaven,  he  sighed,  and 
saith  unto  him,  "  Ephphatha,"  (that  is,  "  Be  opened.")  And 
straightway  his  ears  were  opened,  and  the  string  of  his  tongue  was  loosed, 
and  he  spake  plain.  And  he  charged  them  that  they  should  tell  no  man : 
but  the  more  he  charged  them,  so  much  the  more  a  great  deal  they  pub 
lished  it ;  and  were  beyond  measure  astonished,  saying,  He  hath  done  all 
things  well :  he  maketh  both  the  deaf  to  hear,  and  the  dumb  to  speak.

In  those  days  the  multitude  being  very  great,  and  having  nothing*  to  eat, 
Jesus  called  his  disciples  unto  him,  and  saith  unto  them,  "1  have  com 
passion  on  the  multitude,  because  they  continue  with  me  now  three  days, 
,nid  have  nothing  to  eat:  and  1  will  not  send  them  away  tasting,  lest  they 
faint  in  the  way  :  for  divers  of  them  came  from  far."  And  his  disciples  say 
unto  him,  "  Whence  should  we  have  so  much  bread  in  the  wilderness,  as  to 
till  so  great  a  multitude  !"  And  Jesus  saith  unto  them,  "  How  many  loaves 
have  ye  I"  And  they  said,  "  Seven,  and  a  few  little  fishes."  And  he  com 
manded  the  multitude  to  sit  down  on  the  ground.  And  he  took  the  seven 
loaves  and  the  fishes,  and  gave  thanks,  and  brake  them,  and  gave  to  his 
disciples,  and  the  disciples  to  the  multitude.  And  they  did  all  eat,  and 
were  filled:  and  they  took  up  of  the  broken  meat  that  was  left  Four thousand

PETER'S    PROFESSION   AND   OTHER   INCIDENTS. 


I1]  Pharisees  also  with  the  Sadducees  came,  and  tempt 
ing   desired   him  that  he  would  shew  them  a  sign  from 
heaven.     He  answered   and   said  unto  them,  The  Pharisees 
"When  it  is  evening,  ye  say,   It  will   be  fair  8 
"5fl^?£    weather :   for  the   sky   is   red.     And   in  the   morning,    It 
will  be  foul  weather  to-day:    for   the   sky   is    red    and   lowering.     O   ye, 
hypocrites,  ye  can  discern  the  face  of  the  sky;  but  can  ye  not  discern  the

And  he  left  them,  and  departed.  And  when  his  disciples  were  come  to 
the  other  side,  they  had  forgotten  to  take  bread,  neither  had  they  in  the 
ship  with  them  more  than  one  loaf.  Then  Jesus  said  unto  them,  "Take 
heed  and  beware  of  the  leaven  of  the  Pharisees  and  of  the  Sad-  „

ducees."  And  they  reasoned  among  themselves,  saying,  "It  is  JheTe^ve^'ofthe 
I »• -cause  we  have  no  bread."  And  when  Jesus  knew  it,  he  saith 
unto  them,  "Why  reason  ye,  because  ye  have  no  bread!  perceive  ye  not 
yet,  neither  understand  ?  have  ye  your  heart  yet  hardened  ?  having  eyes, 
see  \  e  not  I  and  having  ears,  hear  ye  not?  and  do  ye  not  remember  ?  when 
I  brake  the  five  loaves  among  five  thousand,  how  many  baskets  full  of 
fragments  took  ye  up  ? "  They  say  unto  him,  "Twelve."  "  And  when  the 
seven  among  four  thousand,  how  many  baskets  full  of  fragments  took  ye 
up.'"  And  they  said,  "Seven."  And  lie  said  unto  them,  "  How  is  it  that 
ye  do  not  understand  that  I  spake  it  not  to  you  concerning  bread,  that  ye 
>h«»ul(l  beware  of  the  leaven  of  the  Pharisees  and  of  the  -  Sadducees!" 
Then  understood  they  how  that  he  bade  them  not  beware  of  the  leaven  of 
bread,  but  of  the  doctrine  of  the  Pharisees  and  of  the  Sadducees. 

And  he  cometh  to  Bethsaida;  and  they  bring  a  blind  man  unto  him,  and 
I '«  -«>ui;|it  him  to  touch  him.  And  he  took  the  blind  man  by  the  hand,  and 
led  him  out  of  the  town ;  and  when  he  had  spit  on  his  eyes,  and  put  his 
hands  upon  him,  he  asked  him  if  he  saw  aught.  And  he  looked  up,  and 


PETER  PROFEKKETII  FATTIL 

said,  "I  see  men  as  trees,  walking."    After  that  lie  put  his  hands  again  upon 
liis  eyes,   and  made   him  look   up:   and  he   was  restored,    and  Heheaisawimi 
saw  every  man  clearly.     And  he  sent  him  away  to  his  house,  r 
saying,   "Neither  go  into  the  town,  nor  tell   it  to  any  in  the  town." 

When  Jesus  came  into  the  coasts  of  Crcsarea  Philippi,  he  asked  his  dis 
ciples,  saying,  "Whom  do  men  say  that  1  the  Son  of  man  am  ?"     And  they 
said,  "Some  say  that  thou  art  John  the  Baptist;   some,  Elijah;  and  others, 
Jeremiah,  or  one  of  the  prophets."     He  saith  unto  them,  "  But  mer  prcfesseti.

said,  "  Thou  art  the  Christ,  the  Son  of  the  living-  God." 

And  Jesus  answered  and  said  unto  him,  "  Blessed  art  thou,  Simon  Bar- 
joua :  for  flesh  and  blood  hath  not  revealed  it  unto  thee,  but

in  heaven."  Then  charged  lie  his  disciples  that  they  should  tell  no  man 
that  he  was  Jesus  the  Christ. 

From  that  time  forth  began  Jesus  to  show  unto  his  disciples,  how  that 
"the  Son  of  man  must  suffer  many  things,  and  be  rejected  of  the  elders  and

him,  and  began  to  rebuke  him,  saying,  "  Be  it  far  from  thee,  Lord :  this 
shall  not  be  unto  thee."  But  he  turned,  and  said  unto  Peter,  "Get  thee 
behind  me,  Satan:  thou  art  an  offence  unto  me:  for  thou  savorest  not  the 
things  that  be  of  God,  but  those  that  be  of  men." 

And  when  he  had  called  the  people  unto  him  with  his  disciples  also,  he 
said  unto  them,  "  Whosoever  will  come  after  me,  let  him  deny  himself,  and 
take  up  his  cross  daily,  and  follow  me.      For  whosoever  will  Of  bearing  the

man,  if  he  shall  gain  the  whole  world,  and  lose  his  own  soul  ?  or  what  shall 
a  man    give    in    exchange    for  his   soul  ?     Whosoever   therefore  shall    be

of  him  also  shall  the  Son  of  man  be  ashamed,  when  he  cometh  in  the 
glory  of  his  Father  with  the  holy  angels." 

And  he  said  unto  them,  "  Verily  I  say  imto  you,  That  there  be  some  of 
them  that  stand  here,  which  shall  not  taste  of  death,  till  they  have  seen  the 
kingdom  of  God  come  with  power." 


CHAPTER    XIX. 


THE  TRANSFIGUEATION  AND   CONNECTING  INCIDENTS. 


ND  it  came  to  pass  about  an  eight  days  after  these  sayings, 
he  took  Peter  and  Jolm  and  James,  and  went  up  into  a 
high  mountain  to  pray ;  and  was  transfigured  before 
them:  and  his  face  did  shine  as  the  sun,  and  his  raiment 
was  white  as  the  light.  And,  behold,  there  talked  with 
him  two  men,  which  were  Moses  and  Elijah :  who  ap 
peared  in  glory,  and  spake  of  his  decease  which  he  should  accomplish 
at  Jerusalem.  But  Peter  and  they  that  were  with  him  were  heavy  with 
sleep  :  and  when  they  were  awake,  they  saw  his  glory,  and  the  two  men 
that  stood  with  him. 

And  it  came  to  pass,  as  they  departed  from  him,  Peter  said  unto  Jesus, 
"  Master,  it  is  good  for  us  to  be  here  :  and  let  us  make  three  tabernacles  ; 
one  for  thee,  and  one  for  Moses,  and  one  for  Elijah."  For  he  wist  not  what 
to  say ;  for  they  were  sore  afraid.  While  he  yet  spake,  behold,  a  bright 
cloud  overshadowed  them :  and  behold  a  voice  out  of  the  cloud,  which  said, 
"  This  is  my  beloved  Son,  in  whom  I  am  well  pleased  ;  hear  ye  him."  And 
when  the  disciples  heard  it,  they  fell  on  their  face,  and  were  sore  afraid. 
And  Jesus  came  and  touched  them,  and  said,  "  Arise,  and  be  not  afraid." 
And  when  they  had  lifted  up  their  eyes,  they  saw  no  man,  save  Jesus  only. 
And  as  they  came  down  from  the  mountain,  Jesus  charged  them,  saying, 
"  Tell  the  vision  to  no  man,  until  the  Son  of  man  be  risen  again  from  the 
dead."  And  they  kept  that  saying  with  themselves,  questioning  one  with 
another  what  the  rising  from  the  dead  should  mean. 

And  his  disciples  asked  him,  saying,  "  Why  then  say  the  scribes  that 
Elijah  must  first  come  !  "  And  Jesus  answered  and  said  unto  them,  "  Elijah 
truly  shall  first  come,  and  restore  all  things.  But  I  say  unto  you,  That 
Elijah  is  come  already,  and  they  knew  him  not,  but  have  done  unto  him 
whatsoever  they  listed.  Likewise  shall  also  the  Son  of  man  suffer  of 
them."  Then  the  disciples  understood  that  he  spake  unto  them  of  John 
the  Baptist. 

And  when  he  came  to  his  disciples  on  the  next  day,  he  saw  a  great  multi-

tude  about  them,  and  the  scribes  questioning-  with  them.  And  straightway 
all  the  people,  when  they  beheld  him,  were  greatly  amazed,  and  running  to

mine  only  child  :)  for  he  is  lunatic,  and  sore  vexed  :  for  ofttimes  he  falleth 
into  the  fire,  and  oft  into  the  water."  And,  lo,  a  spirit  taketh  him  and  tear- 
eth  him  :  and  he  foameth,  and  gnasheth  with  his  teeth,  and  pineth  away : 
and  I  spake  to  thy  disciples  that  they  should  cast  him  out ;  and  they  could 
not."  He  answereth  him,  and  saith,  "0  faithless  generation,  how  long  shall 
I  be  witli  you  '?  how  long  shall  I  suffer  you  ?  bring  him  unto  me."  And 
they  brought  him  unto  him  ;  and  when  he  saw  him,  straightway  the  spirit 
tare  him  ;  and  he  fell  on  the  ground,  and  wallowed  foaming.  And  he  asked 
his  father,  "How  long  is  it  ago  since  this  came  unto  him?"  And  he  said, 
"Of  a  child.  And  ofttimes  it  hath  cast  him  into  the  fire,  and  into  the 
waters,  to  destroy  him  :  but  if  thou  canst  do  anything,  have  compassion 
on  us,  and  help  us."  Jesus  saith  unto  him,  "  If  thou  canst  believe,  all 
things  are  possible  to  him  that  believeth."  And  straightway  the  father  of 
the  child  cried  out,  and  said  with  tears,  "  Lord,  I  believe  :  help  thou  mine 
unbelief." 

When  Jesus  saw  that  the  people  came  running  together,  he  rebuked 
the  foul  spirit,  saying  unto  him,  "Thou  dumb  and  deaf  spirit,  I  charge  thee, 
come  out  of  him,  and  enter  no  more  into  him."  And  the  spirit  cried,- and 
rent  him  sore,  and  came  out  of  him  :  and  he  was  as  one  dead ;  insomuch 
that  many  said,  "  He  is  dead."  But  Jesus  took  him  by  the  hand,  and  lifted 
him  up  ;  and  delivered  him  again  to  his  father.  And  they  were  all  amazed 
at  the  mighty  power  of  God.  And  when  he  was  come  into  the  house,  his 
disciples  asked  him  privately,  "  Why  could  not  we  cast  him  out  I  "  And 
Jesus  said  unto  them,  "Because  of  your  unbelief:  for  verily  I  say  unto 
you,  If  ye  have  faith  as  a  grain  of  mustard-seed,  ye  shall  say  unto  this 
mountain,  Ivemove  hence  to  yonder  place ;  and  it  shall  remove  ;  and  noth 
ing  shall  be  impossible  unto  you.  Howbeit  this  kind  goeth  not  out  but  by 
prayer  and  fasting."

and  said  unto  them,  "  Let  these  sayings  sink  down  into  your 
ears:  for  the  Son  of  man  shall  be  delivered  into  the  hands  of  men,  and  they 
shall  kill  him  ;  and  after  that  he  is  killed,  he  shall  rise  the  third  day."  But 
they  understood  not  this  saying,  and  it  was  hid  from  them,  that  they  per 
ceived  it  not :  and  they  feared  to  ask  him  of  that  saying. 


CHAPTER    XX. 


INCIDENTS  AND  CONVERSATIONS   RELATING   TO   TRIBUTE,  TO    HUMILITY,   TO 
LITTLE   CHILDREN,    AND    TO   OFFENCES. 

XI)  when  they  were  come  to  Capernaum,  they  that  received 
tribute   money   came   to    Peter,   and   said,   Doth  not  your 
vy      master  pay  tribute  ?     lie  saith,   Yes.     And  when   he  was 
come  into  the  house,  Jesus  prevented  him,  saying,  "  What 
thinkest  thou,  Simon  ?    of  whom  do  the  kings  of  the  earth 
take  custom  or  tribute  !   of  their  own  children,  or  of  stran 
gers  ?"    Peter  saith  unto  him,  "Of  strangers."     Jesus  saith  unto  The tribute 
him,   "  Then  are  the  children  free.      Notwithstanding,  lest  we 
should  offend  them,  go  thou  to  the  sea,  and  cast  an  hook,  and  take  up  the 
fish    that    first  cometh   up;    and  when 
thou  hast  opened  his  mouth,  thou  shalt 
find  a  piece  of  money:    that  take,  and 
give  unto  them  for  me  and  thee."  il£T/&     *f^£*_*_.  ®I 

And  being  in  the  house  he  asked 
them,  "  What  was  it  that  ye  disputed 
among  yourselves  by  the  way'?"  Hut 
they  held  their  peace:  for  by  the  way  they  had  disputed  among  them 
selves,  who  should  be  the  greatest.  And  Jesus,  perceiving  the  WhOBhallbe 
thought  of  their  heart,  sat  down,  and  called  the  twelve,  and  *reate8t 
saith  unto  them,  "If  any  man  desire  to  be  first,  the  same  shall  be  last  of 
all,  and  servant  of  all."  And  he  took  a  child,  and  set  him  in  the  midst  of 
them  :  and  when  he  had  taken  him  in  his  arms,  he  said  unto  them,  "Verily 
I  say  unto  you,  Except  ye  be  converted,  and  become  as  little  children, 
ye  shall  not  enter  into  the  kingdom  of  heaven.  Whosoever  therefore 
shall  humble  himself  as  this  little  child,  the  same  is  greatest  in  the  king 
dom  of  heaven.  And  whoso  shall  receive  one  such  little  child  in  my  name 
receiveth  me  :  and  whosoever  shall  receive  me,  receiveth  not  me,  but  him 
that  sent  me." 

And  John  answered  him,  saying,  "Master,  we  saw  one  casting  out  devils 
in  thy  name,  and  he  followeth  not  us:   and  we  forbade  him,  because  he

is  better  for  him  that  a  millstone  were  hanged  about  his  neck, 
and  he  were  cast  into  the  sea.  And  if  thy  hand  offend  thee,  cut  it  off:  it  is 
better  for  thee  to  enter  into  life  maimed,  than  having  two  hands  to  go  into 
hell,  into  the  fire  that  never  shall  be  quenched:  where  their  Avorm  dieth 
not,  and  the  fire  is  not  quenched.  And  if  thy  foot  offend  thee,  cut  it  off:  it 
is  better  for  thee  to  enter  halt  into  life,  than  having  two  feet  to  be  cast  into 
hell,  into  the  fire  that  never  shall  be  quenched :  where  their  worm  dieth 
not,  and  the  fire  is  not  quenched.  And  if  thine  eye  offend  thee,  pluck  it 
out :  it  is  better  for  thee  to  enter  into  the  kingdom  of  God  with  one  eye, 
than  having  two  eyes  to  be  cast  into  hell-fire  :  where  their  worm  dieth  not, 
and  the  fire  is  not  quenched.  For  every  one  shall  be  salted  with  fire,  and 
every  sacrifice  shall  be  salted  with  salt.  Salt  is  good :  but  if  the  salt  have 
lost  his  sal tn ess,  wherewith  will  ye  season  it  ?  Have  salt  in  yourselves,  and 
have  peace  one  with  another.

went  not -astray.  Even  so  it  is  not  the  will  of  your  Father  which  is  in 
heaven,  that  one  of  these  little  ones  should  perish. 

"  Moreover  if  thy  brother  shall  trespass  against  thee,  go  and  tell  him  his 
Treatment  of  m  ^au^  between  thee  and  him  alone  :  if  he  shall  hear  thee,  thou 
offending  brother.  jiagt  g^^ft  t]lv  brother.  But  if  he  will  not  hear  thee,  then  take 
with  thee  one  or  two  more,  that  in  the  mouth  of  two  or  three  witnesses 
every  word  may  be  established.  And  if  he  shall  neglect  to  hear  them,  tell 
it  unto  the  church  :  but  if  he  neglect  to  hear  the  church,  let  him  be  unto 
thee  as  an  heathen  man  and  a  publican.  Verily  I  say  unto  you,  Whatso 
ever  ye  shall  bind  on  earth  shall  be  bound  in  heaven :  and  whatsoever  ye 
shall  loose  on  earth  shall  be  loosed  in  heaven.  Again  I  say  unto  you,  That 
of  asking  and  if  two  of  you  shall  agree  on  earth  as  touching  anything  that 
they  shall  ask,  it  shall  be  done  for  them  of  my  Father  which  is 
in  heaven.  For  where  two  or  three  are  gathered  together  in  my  name, 
there  am  I  in  the  midst  of  them."

THE   UNFORGIVING   SERVANT. 


Then  came  Peter  to  him,  and  said,  "Lord,  how  oft  shall  my  brother  sin 
against  me,  and  I  forgive  him?  till  seven  times?"  Jesus  saith  unto  him, 
" I  say  not  unto  thee,  Until  seven  times:  but,  Until  seventy  times  seven. 
Therefore  is  the  kingdom  of  heaven  likened  unto  a  certain  king,  which 
would  take  account  of  his  servants.  And  when  he  had  begun  to  reckon, 
one  was  brought  unto  him,  which  owed  him  ten  thousand  talents.  But 
forasmuch  as  he  had  not  to  pay,  his  lord  commanded  him  to  be  sold,  and 
his  wife,  and  children,  and  all  that  he  had,  and  payment  to  be  made.  The 
servant  therefore  fell  down,  and  worshiped  him,  saying,  '  Lord,  have 
patience  with  me,  and  I  will  pay  thee  all.'  Then  the  lord  of  that  servant 
was  moved  with  compassion,  and  loosed  him,  and  forgave  him  the  debt. 
But  the  same  servant  went  out,  and  found  one  of  his  fellow-servants,  which 
owed  him  an  hundred  pence :  and  he  laid  hands  on  him,  and  took  him  by 
the  throat,  saying,  l  Pay  rue  that  thou  owest.'  And  his  fellow-servant  fell 
down  at  his  feet,  and  besought  him,  saying,  l  Have  patience  with  me,  and  I 
The  unforgiving  will  pay  thee  all.'  And  he  would  not :  but  went  and  cast  him 
into  prison,  till  he  should  pay  the  debt.  So  when  his  fellow- 
servants  saw  what  was  done,  they  were  very  sorry,  and  came  and  told  unto 
their  lord  all  that  was  done.  Then  his  lord,  after  that  he  had  called  him, 
said  unto  him,  '  0  thou  wicked  servant,  I  forgave  thee  all  that  debt,  because 
thou  desiredst  me :  shouldest  not  thou  also  have  had  compassion  on  thy 
fellow-servant,  even  as  I  had  pity  on  thee  ? '  And  his  lord  was  wroth,  and 
delivered  him  to  the  tormentors,  till  he  should  pay  all  that  was  due  unto 
him.  So  likewise  shall  my  heavenly  Father  do  also  unto  you,  if  ye  from 
your  hearts  forgive  not  every  one  his  brother  their  trespasses." 


CHAPTER    XXI. 


JESUS   AT   THE   FEAST   OF   TABERNACLES. 


the   Jews'   feast   of   tabernacles    was   at    hand.       His 

l^1™*, 

f    brethren  therefore  said  unto  him,  "Depart  hence,  and  go 


into  Jiuhva,  that  thy  disciples  also  may  see  the  works  that 
thon  doest.  For  there  is  no  man  that  doeth  anything-  in 
secret,  and  he  himself  seeketli  to  be  known  openly.  If 
thon  do  these  tilings,  show  thyself  to  the  world."  For 
neither  did  his  brethren  believe  in  him.  Then  Jesus  said  unto  His  brethren  urge 

--.....  .  .  .  him  to  attend  the 

them,  ''  My  time  is  not  yet  come  :  but  your  tune  is  alway  feast 
ready.  The  world  cannot  hate  you  ;  but  me  it  hateth,  because  I  testify 
of  it,  that  the  works  thereof  are  evil.  Go  ye  up  unto  this  feast  :  I  go  not 
up  yet  unto  this  feast;  for  my  time  is  not  yet  full  come."  When  he  had 
said  these  words  unto  them,  he  abode  still  in  Galilee.  But  when  his 
brethren  were  gone  up,  then  went  he  also  up  unto  the  feast,  not  openly, 
but  as  it  were  in  secret. 

And  it  came  to  pass,  when  the  time  was  come  that  he  should  be  received 
up,  he  steadfastly  set  his  face  to  go  to  Jerusalem.  And  it  came  to  pass,  as 
he  went  to  Jerusalem,  that  he  passed  through  the  midst  of  Samaria  and 
Galilee,  and  sent  messengers  before  his  face  :  and  they  went,  and  entered 
into  a  village  of  the  Samaritans,  to  make  ready  for  him.  And  they  did  not 
receive  him,  because  his  face  was  as  though  he  would  go  to  Jerusalem. 
And  when  his  disciples  James  and  John  saw  this,  they  said,  "Lord,  wilt 
thou  that  we  command  fire  to  come  down  from  heaven,  and  Christ  refuses  to 

call  flre  from 

consume  them,  even  as  Elijah  did  ?  "    But  he  turned,  and  re-  heaven. 
buked  them,  and  said,  "  Ye  know  not  what  manner  of  spirit  ye  are  of.     For

they  went  to  another  village. 

And  it  came  to  pass,  that  as  they  went  in  the  way,  a  certain  scribe  said 
unto  him,  "  Lord,  I  will  follow  thee  whithersoever  thou  goest."  And  Jesus 
said  unto  him,  "  Foxes  have  holes,  and  birds  of  the  air  have  He  instructs  cer-

And  he  said  unto  another,  "  Follow  me."     But  he  said,  "  Lord,  suffer  me

first  to  go  and  bury  my  father."  Jesus  said  unto  him,  "  Let  the  dead  bury 
their  dead :  but  go  thou  and  preach  the  kingdom  of  God."  And  another  also 
said,  "  Lord,  I  will  follow  thee  ;  but  let  me  first  go  bid  them  farewell,  which 
are  at  home  at  my  house."  And  Jesus  said  unto  him,  "  No  man,  having 
put  his  hand  to  the  plow,  and  looking  back,  is  fit  for  the  kingdom  of 
God." 

Then  the  Jews  sought  him  at  the  feast,  and  said,  "Where  is  he?"    And 

The  people  seek    there  was  much  murmuring  among  the  people  concerning  him : 

for  some  said,  "  He  is  a  good  man  " :  others  said,  "  Nay ;  but 

he  deceiveth  the  people."     Howbeit  no  man  spake  openly  of  him  for  fear  of 

the  Jews. 

Now  about  the  midst  of  the  feast  Jesus  went  up  into  the  temple,  and 
taught.  And  the  Jews  marveled,  saying,  "  How  knoweth  this  man  letters, 
jesus  appears  at  having  never  learned  1 "  Jesus  answered  them,  and  said,  "My 
doctrine  is  not  mine,  but  his  that  sent  me.  If  any  man  will  do 
his  will,  he  shall  know  of  the  doctrine,  whether  it  be  of  God,  or  whether  I 
speak  of  myself.  He  that  speaketh  of  himself  seeketh  his  own  glory :  but 
he  that  seeketh  his  glory  that  sent  him,  the  same  is  true,  and  no  unright 
eousness  is  in  him.  Did  not  Moses  give  you  the  law,  and  yet  none  of  you 
keepeth  the  law  ?  Why  go  ye  about  to  kill  me  ?  "  The  people  answered 
and  said,  "Thou  hast  a  devil :  who  goeth  about  to  kill  thee?"  Jesus  an 
swered  and  said  unto  them,  "  I  have  done  one  work,  and  ye  all  marvel. 
Moses  therefore  gave  unto  you  circumcision  ;  (not  because  it  is  of  Moses, 
but  of  the  fathers  ;)  and  ye  on  the  sabbath  day  circumcise  a  man.  If  a  man 
on  the  sabbath  day  receive  circumcision,  that  the  law  of  Moses  should  not 
be  broken ;  are  ye  angry  at  me,  because  I  have  made  a  man  every  whit 
whole  on  the  sabbath  day?  Judge  not  according  to  the  appearance,  but 
judge  righteous  judgment."  Then  said  some  of  them  of  Jerusalem,  "Is 
not  this  he,  whom  they  seek  to  kill  ?  but,  lo,  he  speaketh  boldly,  and 
they  say  nothing  unto  him.  Do  the  rulers  know  indeed  that  this  is 
the  very  Christ?  howbeit  we  know  this  man  whence  he  is:  but  when 
Christ  cometh,  no  man  knoweth  whence  he  is."  Then  cried  Jesus  in 
the  temple  as  he  taught,  saying,  "Ye  both  know  me,  and  ye  know 
whence  I  am :  and  I  am  not  come  of  myself,  but  he  that  sent  me  is  true, 
whom  ye  know  not.  But  I  know  him  :  for  I  am  from  him,  and  he  hath 
sent  me." 

Then  they  sought  to  take  him :  but  no  man  laid  hands  on  him,  because 
Many  believe  on  his  hour  was  not  yet  come.  And  many  of  the  people  believed 
on  him,  and  said,  "When  Christ  cometh,  will  he  do  more  mir 
acles  than  these  which  this  man  hath  done  ?  "  The  Pharisees  heard  that  the 
people  murmured  such  things  concerning  him ;  and  the  Pharisees  and  the 
chief  priests  sent  officers  to  take  him. 


HE  OFFERETU  THE   WATER   OF  LIFE.

Then  said  Jesus  unto  them,  "  Yet  a  little  while  am  I  with  you,  and  then 
I  go  unto  him  that  sent  me.  Ye  shall  seek  me,  and  shall  not  He  foreteiieth  his 
iind  me  :  and  where  I  am,  thither  ye  cannot  come." 

Then  said  the  Jews  among  themselves,  "  Whither  will  he  go,  that  we 
shall  not  iind  him?  will  he  go  unto  the  dispersed  among  the  Gentiles, 
and  teach  the  Gentiles  f  what  manner  of  saying  is  this  that  lie  said,  Ye 
shall  seek  me,  and  shall  not  iind  me:  and  where  I  am,  thither  ye  cannot 
come  ?  " 

In  the  last  day,  that  great  day  of  the  feast,  Jesus  stood  and  cried,  saying, 
"  If  any  man  thirst,  let  him  come  unto  me,  and  drink.  He  that 

*  He  offereth  the 

believeth  on  me,  as  the  scripture  hath  said,  out  of  his  bellv  wateroflife- 
shall  flow  rivers  of  living  water."     (But  this  spake  he  of  the  Spirit,  which 
they  that  believe  on  him  should  receive  :  for  the  Holy  Ghost  was  not  yet 
given  ;  because  that  Jesus  was  not  yet  glorified.) 

Many  of  the  people  therefore,  when  they  heard  this  saying,  said,  "  Of  a 
truth  this  is  the  Prophet."     Others  said,  "This  is  the  Christ."  -n^  peop,0  di8. 
But  some  said,  "  Shall  Christ  come  out  of  Galilee?  hath  not  the  r 
scripture  said,  that  Christ  cometh  of  the  seed  of  David,  and  out  of  the  town 
of  Bethlehem,  where  David  was  ?  "     So  there  wras  a  division  among  the 
people  because  of  him.     And  some  of  them  would  have  taken  him  ;  but  no 
man  laid  hands  on  him. 

Then  came  the  officers  to  the  chief  priests  and  Pharisees  ;  and  they  said 
unto  them,  "Why  have  ye  not  brought  him?"      The  officers  The  officers  ten- 
answered,  "  Never  man  spake  like  this  man."     Then  answered 
them  the  Pharisees,  "Are  ye  also  deceived?     Have  any  of  the  rulers  or  of 
the  Pharisees  believed  on  him  ?  but  this  people  who  knoweth  not  the  law 
are  cursed."      Nicodemus  saith  unto  them,    (he  that  came  to 
Jesus  by  night,  being  one  of  them,)  "  Doth  our  law  judge  any 
man  before  it  hear  him,  and  know  what  he  doeth  ?  "      They  answered  and 
said  unto  him,  "Art  thou  also  of  Galilee?     Search,  and  look:  for  out  of 
Galilee  ariseth  no  prophet."      And  every  man  went  unto  his  own  house. 
And  Jesus  went  unto  the  mount  of  Olives. 


CII  A  1'TKR     XXII. 

DISCUSSIONS   AY  ITU    THE  PHARISEES. 

early  in  the  morning  lie  came  again  into  the  temple, 
and  all  the  people  came  unto  him ;  and  he  sat  down,  and 
taught  them.  And  the  scribes  and  Pharisees  brought  unto 
\V-\i  '''"'  :l  NV(>i»;111  taken  in  adultery;  and  when  they  had  set 
her  in  the  midst,  they  say  unto  him,  "  Master,  this  woman 
was  taken  in  adultery,  in  the  very  act.  Now  xhe  woman  taken 
Moses  in  the  law  commanded  us,  that  such  should  be  stoned  : 
but  what  sayest  thou  !  "  This  they  said,  tempting  him,  that  they  might 
have  to  accuse  him. 

But  Jesus  stooped  down,  and  with  his  finger  wrote  on  the  ground,  as 
though  he  heard  them  not.  So  when  they  continued  asking  him,  he  lifted 
up  himself,  and  said  unto  them,  "  He  that  is  without  sin  among  you,  let 
him  first  cast  a  stone  at  her."  And  again  he  stooped  down,  and  wrote  on 
the  ground.  And  they  which  heard  it,  being  convicted  by  their  own  con 
science,  went  out  one  by  one,  beginning  at  the  eldest,  even  unto  the  last : 
and  Jesus  was  left  alone,  and  the  woman  standing  in  the  midst.  When 
Jesus  had  lifted  up  himself,  and  saw  none  but  the  woman,  he  said  unto  her, 
"Woman,  where  are  those  thine  accusers?  hath  no  man  condemned  thee?" 
She  said,  "No  man,  Lord."  And  Jesus  said  unto  her,  "  Neither  do  I  con 
demn  thee :  go,  and  sin  no  more." 

Then  spake  Jesus  again  unto  them,  saying,  "I  am  the  light  of  the  world: 
he  that  followeth  me  shall  not  walk  in  darkness,  but  shall  have  Je8U8  the  light of 
the  light  of  life."  The  Pharisees  therefore  said  unto  him,  "Thou 
bearest  record  of  thyself ;  thy  record  is  not  true."  Jesus  answered  and  said 
unto  them,  "  Though  I  bear  record  of  myself,  yet  my  record  is  true :  for  I 
know  whence  I  came,  and  whither  I  go ;  but  ye  cannot  tell  whence  I  come, 
and  whither  I  go.  Ye  judffe  after  the  flesh;  I  judge  no  man.  Herebukeathe

And  yet  if  I  judge,  my  judgment  is  true:  for  I  am  not  alone,  Putes with them- 
but  I  and  the  Father  that  sent  me.  It  is  also  written  in  your  law,  that  the 
testimony  of  two  men  is  true  1  am  one  that  bear  witness  of  myself,  and 
the  Father  that  sent  me  beareth  witness  of  me."  Then  said  they  unto  him, 

135 


HE  DISPUTES    WITH  THE  PHARISEES.  137 

"Where  is  thy  Father  I"  Jesus  answered,  "Ye  neither  know  me,  nor  mv 
Father :  it'  ye  had  known  me,  ye  should  have  known  my  Father  also." 
These  words  spake  Jesus  in  the  treasury,  as  he  taught  in  the  temple  :  and 
no  man  laid  hands  on  him;  for  his  hour  was  not  yet  come. 

Then  said  Jesus  again  unto  them,  "  I  go  my  way,  and  ye  shall  seek  me, 
and  shall  die  in  your  sins:  whither  I  go,  ye  cannot  come."  Then  said -the 
Jews,  "Will  he  kill  himself?  because  he  saith,  Whither  I  go,  ye  cannot 
come."  And  he  said  unto  them,  "  Ye  are  from  beneath  ;  I  am  from  above  : 
ye  are  of  this  world  ;  I  am  not  of  this  world.  I  said  therefore  unto  you, 
that  ye  shall  die  in  your  sins :  for  if  ye  believe  not  that  I  am  he,  ye  shall 
die  in  your  sins." 

Then  said  they  unto  him,  "Who  art  thou?"  And  Jesus  saith  unto  them, 
"Even  the  same  that  I  said  unto  you  from  the  beginning.  1  have  many 
things  to  say  and  to  judge  of  you:  but  he  that  sent  me  is  true;  and  I 
speak  to  the  world  those  things  which  I  have  heard  of  him."  They  under 
stood  not  that  he  spake  to  them  of  the  Father.  Then  said  Jesus  unto  them, 
"  When  ye  have  lifted  up  the  Son  of  man,  then  shall  ye  know  that  I  am  he, 
and  that  I  do  nothing  of  myself;  but  as  my  Father  hath  taught  me,  I 
speak  these  things.  And  he  that  sent  me  is  with  me:  the  Father  hath  not 
left  me  alone ;  for  I  do  always  those  things  that  please  him." 

As  he  spake  these  words,  many  believed  on  him.  Then  said  Jesus  to 
those  Jews  which  believed  on  him,  "  If  ye  continue  in  my  word,  then  are 
ye  my  disciples  indeed ;  and  ye  shall  know  the  truth,  and  the  truth  shall 
make  you  free."  They  answered  him,  "  We  be  Abraham's  seed,  and  were 
never  in  bondage  to  any  man :  how  sayest  thou,  Ye  shall  be  made  free  I " 
Jesus  answered  them,  "Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  you,  Whosoever  com- 
mitteth  sin  is  the  servant  of  sin.  And  the  servant  abideth  not  in  the  house 
forever:  but  the  Son  abideth  ever.  If  the  Son  therefore  shall  make  you 
free,  ye  shall  be  free  indeed.  I  know  that  ye  are  Abraham's  seed;  but 
\  <•  seek  to  kill  me,  because  my  word  hath  no  place  in  you.  I  speak  that 
which  I  have  seen  with  my  Father:  and  ye  do  that  which  ye  have  seen 
with  your  father."  They  answered  and  said  unto  him,  Abraham  is  our 
father.  Jesus  saith  unto  them,  "If  ye  were  Abraham's  children,  ye  would 
do  the  works  of  Abraham.  Hut  now  ye  seek  to  kill  me,  a  man  that  hath 
told  you  the  truth,  which  I  have  heard  of  God:  this  did  not  Abraham.  Ye 
do  the  deeds  of  your  father."  Then  said  they  to  him,  "  We  be  not  born  of 
fornication ;  we  have  one  Father,  even  God." 

.!»  sus  said  unto  them,  "  If  God  were  your  Father,  ye  would  love  me  :  for 
1  proceeded  forth  and  came  from  God  ;  neither  came  I  of  myself,  but  he 
sent  me.  Why  do  ye  not  understand  my  speech  ?  even  because  ye  cannot 
lu-ar  my  word.  Ye  are  of  your  father  the  devil,  and  the  lusts  of  your 
father  ye  will  do.  He  was  a  murderer  from  the  beginning,  and  abode  not

in  the  truth,  because  there  is  no  truth  in  him.  When  he  speaketh  a  lie,  he 
speaketh  of  his  own :  for  he  is  a  liar,  and  the  father  of  it.  And  because  I 
tell  you  the  truth,  ye  believe  me  not.  Which  of  you  convinceth  me  of  sin  1 
And  if  I  say  the  truth,  wrhy  do  ye  not  believe  me?  He  that  is  of  God 
heareth  God's  words :  ye  therefore  hear  them  not,  because  ye  are  not  of 
God." 

Then  answered  the  Jews,  and  said  unto  him,  "  Say  we  not  well  that  thou 
art  a  Samaritan,  and  hast  a  devil?"  Jesus  answered,  "I  have  not  a  devil; 
but  I  honor  my  Father,  and  ye  do  dishonor  me.  And  I  seek  not  mine  own 
glory :  there  is  one  that  seeketh  and  judgeth.  Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto 
you,  If  a  man  keep  my  saying,  he  shall  never  see  death."  Then  said  the 
Jews  unto  him,  "Now  we  know  that  thou  hast  a  devil.  Abraham  is  dead, 
and  the  prophets;  and  thou  sayest,  If  a  man  keep  my  saying,  he  shall 
never  taste  of  death.  Art  thou  greater  than  our  father  Abraham,  which  is 
dead?  and  the  prophets  are  dead  :  whom  makest  thou  thyself?" 

Jesus  answered,  "  If  I  honor  myself,  my  honor  is  nothing :  it  is  my 
Father  that  honoreth  me  ;  of  whom  ye  say,  that  he  is  your  God :  yet  ye 
have  not  known  him  ;  but  1  know  him  :  and  if  I  should  say,  I  know  him 
not,  I  shall  be  a  liar  like  unto  you:  but  I  know  him,  and  keep  his  saying. 
Your  father  Abraham  rejoiced  to  see  my  day  :  and  he  saw  it,  and  was 
jesus  declares  Ma  glad."  Then  said  the  Jews  unto  him,  "Thou  art  not  yet  fifty

them,  "Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  you,  Before  Abraham  was,  I  am."

them,  and  so  passed  by.

K     \D  as  Jesus  passed  by,  lie  saw  a  man  which  was  blind  from 
his  birth.      And   his  disciples  asked  him,  saving,  "  Master,

who  did  sin,  this  man,  or  his  parents,  that  he  was  born 
blind  ?  "  Jesus  answered,  "  Neither  hath  this  man  sinned, 
nor  his  parents:  but  that  the  works  of  God  should  be 
made  manifest  in  him.  I  must  work  the  works  of  him 
that  sent  me,  while  it  is  day:  the  night  eometh,  when  no  man  can  work. 
As  long  as  I  am  in  the  world,  I  am  the  light  of  the  world."  AVhen  he  had 
thus  spoken,  he  spat  on  the  ground,  and  made  clay  of  the  spittle,  and  he 
anointed  the  eyes  of  the  blind  man  with  the  clay,  and  said  unto  him,  "Go, 
wash  iu  the  pool  of  Siloam,"  (which  is  by  interpretation,  Sent.)  He  went 
his  way  therefore,  and  washed,  and  came  seeing.  The  neigh-  Th

bora  therefore,  and  they  winch  before  had  seen  him  that  he  was  8'Kht- 
blind,  said,  "  Is  not  this  he  that  sat  and  begged  ?  "  SOUK?  said,  "This  is 
he":  others  said,  "He  is  like  him":  but  he  said,  "I  am  he."  Therefore 
said  they  unto  him,  "I  low  were  thine  eyes  opened?"  He  answered  and 
said,  "  A  man  that  is  called  Jesus  made  clay,  and  anointed  mine  eyes,  and 
said  unto  me,  Go  to  the  pool  of  Siloam,  and  wash:  and  I  went  and 
washed,  and  I  received  sight."  Then  said  they  unto  him,  "Where  is  he!" 
He  said,  "I  know  not." 

Then  they  brought  to  the  Pharisees  him  that  aforetime  was  blind. 
And  it  was  the  sabbath  day  when  Jesus  made  the  clay,  and  opened  his 
eyes.  The  Pharisees  also  asked  him  how  he  had  received  his  sight. 
He  said  unto  them,  "  He  put  clay  upon  mine  eyes,  and  I  washed,  and  do 
see."  Therefore  said  some  of  the  Pharisees,  "This  man  is  not  of  God, 
because  he  keepeth  not  the  sabbath  day."  Others  said,  "  How  can  a  man 
that  is  a  sinner  do  such  miracles?"  And  there  was  a  division  among1  them. 
They  say  unto  the  blind  man  again,  "What  sayest  thon  of  him,  that  he 
hath  opened  thine  eyes?"  He  said,  "He  is  a  prophet." 

But  the  Jews  did  not  believe  concerning  him,  that  he  had  been  blind,

and  received  his  sight,  until  they  called  the  parents  of  him  that  had  re 
ceived  his  sight.  And  they  asked  them,  saying,  "  Is  this  your  son,  who  ye 
say  was  born  blind  .'  how  then  doth  he  now  see?"  His  parents  Themani.e*

answered  them  ana  said,  >\  e  know  that  this  is  our  son,  and  communicated, 
that  he  was  born  blind  :  but  by  what  means  he  now  seeth,  we  know  not  ; 
or  who  hath  opened  his  eyes,  we  know  not:  he  is  of  age;  ask  him:  he 
shall  speak  for  himself."  These  words  spake  his  parents,  because  they 
feared  the  Jews:  for  the  Jews  had  agreed  already,  that  if  any  man  did 
confess  that  he  was  Christ,  he  should  be  put.  out  of  the  synagogue. 
Therefore  said  his  parents,  "  He  is  of  age  ;  ask  him." 

Then  again  called  they  the  man  that  was  blind,  and  said  unto  him, 
"Give  God  the  praise:  we  know  that  this  man  is  a  sinner."  He  answered 
and  said,  "Whether  he  be  a  sinner  or  no,  I  know  not:  one  tiling  I  know, 
that,  whereas  I  was  blind,  now  I  see."  Then  said  they  to  him  again, 
"  What  did  he  to  thee?  how  opened  he  thine  eyes!"  lie  answered  them, 
"I  have  told  you  already,  and  ye  did  not  hear:  wherefore  would  ye  hear  it 
again  ?  will  ye  also  be  his  disciples?"  Then  they  reviled  him,  and  said, 
"Thou  art  his  disciple;  but  we  are  Moses'  disciples.  We  know  that  God 
spake  unto  Moses  :  as  for  this  fellow,  we  know  not  from  whence  he  is." 

The  man  answered  and  said  unto  them,  "  Why  herein  is  a  marvelous 
thing,  that  ye  know  not  from  whence  he  is,  and  yet  he  hath  opened  mine 
eyes.  Now  we  know  that  God  heareth  not  sinners:  but  if  any  man  be  a 
worshiper  of  God,  and  doetli  his  will,  him  he  heareth.  Since  the  world 
bewail  was  it  not  heard  that  any  man  opened  the  eyes  of  one  that  was  born 
blind.  If  this  man  were  not  of  God,  he  could  do  nothing."  They  answered 
and  said  unto  him,  "Thou  wast  altogether  born  in  sins,  and  dost  thou  teach 
us .'  "  And  they  cast  him  out, 

Jesus  heard  that  they  had  cast  him  out ;   and  when  he  had  found  him,  he 
>aid  unto  him,  "Dost  thou  believe  on  the  Son  of  God ! "     lie  answered  and 
said,  "Who  is  lie,  Lord,  that  I  might  believe  on  him!"     And  Jesus  said 
unto  him,  "Thou  hast  both  seen  him,  and  it  is  he  that,  talketh  jesus  instructs 
with  thee."      And. he  said,    "Lord,   I  believe."      And  he  wor-  »>"nd. ' 
shiped  him.     And  Jesus   said,  "  For  judgment  I  am  come  into  this  world, 
that  they  which  see  not  might  see  ;  and  that  they  which  see  might  be  made 
blind."  " 

And  some  of  the  Pharisees  which  were  with  him  heard  these  words,  and 
said  unto  him,  "Are  we  blind  also!"  Jesus  said  unto  them,  "If  ye  were 
blind,  ye  should  have  no  sin  :  but  now  ye  say,  We  see  ;  therefore  your  sin 
remaineth." 

"  Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  you,  He  that  entereth  not  by  the  door  into 
the  sheepfold,  but  climbetli  up  some  other  way,  the  same  is  a  thief  and 
a  robber.  But  he  that  entereth  in  by  the  door  is  the  shepherd  of  the  sheep.

To  him  the  porter  openeth ;  and  the  sheep  hear  his  voice  :  and  he  calleth  his 
5us  the  door  ami  own  sheep  })y  name,  and  leadeth  them  out.     And  when  he  put- 

5  shepherd  of  .      .   , 

teth  forth  his  own  sheep,  he  goeth  before  them,,  and  the  sheep 
follow  him  :  for  they  know  his  voice.  And  a  stranger  will  they  not  follow, 
but  will  flee  from  him :  for 
they  know  not  the  voice  of 
strangers."  This  parable  spake 
Jesus  unto  them  :  but  they 
understood  not  what  things 
they  were  which  he  spake 
unto  them. 

Then  said  Jesus  unto  them 
again,  "Verily,  verily,  I  say 
unto  you,  I  am  the  door  of  the 
sheep.  All  that  ever  came 
before  me  are  thieves  and 
robbers :  but  the  sheep  did 
not  hear  them.  I  am  the  door  : 
by  me,  if  any  man  enter  in,  he  shall  be  saved,  and  shall  go  in  and  out,  and 
find  pasture.  The  thief  cometh  not,  but  for  to  steal,  and  to  kill,  and  to 
destroy :  1  am  come  that  they  might  have  life,  and  that  they  might  have  it 
more  abundantly.  I  am  the  good  shepherd :  the  good  shepherd  giveth  his 
life  for  the  sheep.  But  he  that  is  an  hireling,  and  not  the  shepherd,  whose 
own  the  sheep  are  not,  seeth  the  wolf  coming,  and  leaveth  the  sheep,  and 
fleeth  :  and  the  wolf  catchcth  them,  and  scattereth  the  sheep.  The  hireling 
fleeth,  because  he  is  an  hireling,  and  careth  not  for  the  sheep.  I  am  the 
good  shepherd,  and  know  my  sheep,  and  am  known  of  mine.  As  the  Father 
knoweth  me,  even  so  know  I  the  Father  :  and  I  lay  down  my  life  for  the 
sheep.  And  other  sheep  I  have,  which  are  not  of  this  fold :  them  also  I 
must  bring,  and  they  shall  hear  my  voice  ;  and  there  shall  be  one  fold,  and 
one  shepherd.  Therefore  doth  my  Father  love  me,  because  I  lay  down  my 
life,  that  I  might  take  it  again.  No  man  taketh  it  from  me,  but  I  lay  it 
down  of  myself.  I  have  power  to  lay  it  down,  and  I  have  power  to  take  it 
again.  This  commandment  have  I  received  of  my  Father. 

There  was  a  division  therefore  again  among  the  Jews  for  these  sayings. 
And  many  of  them  said,  "  He  hath  a  devil,  and  is  mad ;   why 
hear  ye  him?"     Others  said,  "These  are  not  the  words  of  him 
that  hath  a  devil.     Can  a  devil  open  the  eyes  of  the  blind  ?  " 


The  council  is 
divided. 


PEACE   BE   TO   THIS   HOUSE. 


CHAPTER    XXIV. 


THE   SENDING    OE    THE   SEVENTY,   WITH   OTHER   INCIDENTS. 

FTER  these  things  the  Lord  appointed  other  seventy  also, 
and  sent  them  two  and  two  before  his  face  into  every  city 
and  place,   whither  he   himself  would   come.      Therefore 
said  he  unto  them,  "  The  harvest  truly  is  great,  but  the 
laborers  are  few :  pray  ye  therefore  the  Lord  of  the  har 
vest,   that  he  would  send  forth  laborers  into  his  harvest. 
Go  your  ways :  behold,  I  send  you  forth  as  lambs  among  wolves.     Carry 
neither  purse,  nor  scrip,  nor  shoes :  and  salute  no  man  by  the

way.  And  into  whatsoever  house  ye  enter,  first  say,  Peace  be 
to  this  house.  And  if  the  son  of  peace  be  there,  your  peace  shall  rest  upon 
it :  if  not,  it  shall  turn  to  you  again.  And  in  the  same  house  remain,  eating 
and  drinking  such  things  as  they  give :  for  the  laborer  is  worthy  of  his  hire. 
Go  not  from  house  to  house.  And  into  whatsoever  city  ye  enter,  and  they 
receive  you,  eat  such  things  as  are  set  before  you  :  and  heal  the  sick  that 
are  therein,  and  say  unto  them,  The  kingdom  of  God  is  come  nigh  unto 
you.  But  into  whatsoever  city  ye  enter,  and  they  receive  you  not,  go  your 
ways  out  into  the  streets  of  the  same,  and 
say,  Even  the  very  dust  of  your  city,  which 
cleaveth  on  us,  we  do  wipe  off  against  you  : 
notwithstanding  be  ye  sure  of  this,  that  the 
kingdom  of  God  is  come  nigh  unto  you.  But 
I  say  unto  you,  that  it  shall  be  more  tolerable 
in  that  day  for  Sodom,  than  for  that  city. 

"  Woe  unto  thee,  Chorazin !  woe  unto  thee, 
Bethsaida !  for  if  the  mighty  works  had  been 
done  in  Tyre  and  Sidon,  which  have  been  done 
in  you,  they  had  a  great  while  ago  repented, 
sitting  in  sackcloth  and  ashes.  But  it  shall 
be  more  tolerable  for  Tyre  and  Sidon  at  the 
judgment,  than  for  you.  And  thou,  Capernaum,  which  art  exalted  to 
heaven,  shalt  be  thrust  down  to  hell.  He  that  heareth  you  heareth  me ;

and  lie  that  despisetli  you  despiseth  me ;   and  he  that  despisetli  me   de- 
spiseth  him  that  sent  me." 

And  the  seventy  returned  again  with  joy,  saying,  "Lord,  even  the  devils 
are  subject  unto  us  through  thy  name."    And  he  said  unto  them, 

The  seventy  re-  •>  J 

"I  beheld  Satan  as  lightning  fall 
from  heaven.  Behold,  I  give  unto  you  power 
to  tread  on  serpents  and  scorpions,  and  over 
all  the  power  of  the  enemy  :  and  nothing  shall 
by  any  means  hurt  you.  Notwithstanding  in 
this  rejoice  not,  that  the  spirits  are  subject 
unto  you ;  but  rather  rejoice,  because  your 
names  are  written  in  heaven."  SCORPION. 

In  that  hour  Jesus  rejoiced  in  spirit,  and  said,  "I  thank  thee,  0  Father, 
Lord  of  heaven  and  earth,  that  tliou  hast  hid  these  things  from

the  wise  and  prudent,  and  hast  revealed  them  unto  babes :  even 
so,  Father  ;  for  so  it  seemed  good  in  thy  sight.  All  things  are  delivered  to 
me  of  my  Father :  and  no  man  knoweth  who  the  Son  is,  but  the  Father ; 
and  who  the  Father  is,  but  the  Son,  and  he  to  whom  the  Son  will  reveal 
him."  And  he  turned  him  unto  his  disciples,  and  said  privately,  "  Blessed 
are  the  eyes  which  see  the  things  that  ye  see  :  for  I  tell  you,  that  many 
prophets  and  kings  have  desired  to  see  those  things  which  ye  see,  and  have 
not  seen  them ;  and  to  hear  those  things  which  ye  hear,  and  have  not  heard 
them." 

And,  behold,  a  certain  lawyer  stood  up,  and  tempted  him,  saying,  "  Mas 
ter,  what  shall  I  do  to  inherit  eternal  life  ?  "  He  said  unto  him,  "  AY  hat  is 
written  in  the  law?  how  readest  thou?"  And  he  answering  said,  "Thou 
shalt  love  the  Lord  thy  God  with  all  thy  heart,  and  with  all  thy  soul, 
who  is  my  neigh-  an(^  wi\\\  all  thy  strength,  and  with  all  thy  mind;  and  thy 
neighbor  as  thyself."  And  he  said  unto  him,  "Thou  hast  an 
swered  right :  this  do,  and  thou  shalt  live."  But  he,  willing  to  justify  him 
self,  said  unto  Jesus,  "  And  who  is  my  neighbor  ?  " 

And  Jesus  answering  said,  "A  certain  man  went  down  from  Jerusalem  to 
Jericho,  and  fell  among  thieves,  which  stripped  him  of  his  raiment,  and 
wounded  him,  and  departed,  leaving  him  half  dead.  And  by  chance  there 
came  down  a  certain  priest  that  way :  and  when  he  saw  him,  he  passed  by 
on  the  other  side.  And  likewise  a  Levite,  when  he  was  at  the  place,  came 
and  looked  on  him,  and  passed  by  on  the  other  side.  But  a  certain  Samari- 
The  good  samar-  tan,  as  he  journeyed,  came  where  he  was  :  and  when  he  saw  him, 
he  had  compassion  on  him,  and  went  to  him,  and  bound  up  his 
wounds,  pouring  in  oil  and  wine,  and  set  him  on  his  own  beast,  and  brought 
him  to  an  inn,  and  took  care  of  him.  And  on  the  morrow  when  he  de 
parted,  he  took  out  two  pence,  and  gave  them  to  the  host,  and  said  unto 


TIIK  (iOOD  SAMARITAN    Ai   THE   INN.

him,  Take  care  of  him  ;  and  whatsoever  thou  spendest  more,  when  I  come 
again,  I  will  repay  thee.  Which  now  of  these  three,  thinkest  thou,  was 
neighbor  unto  him  that  fell  among  the  thieves  ?  "  And  he  said,  "  He  that 
showed  mercy  on  him."  Then  said  Jesus  unto  him,  "  Go,  and  do  thou 
likewise." 

Now  it  came  to  pass,  as  they  went,  that  he  entered  into  a  certain  village  : 
Mary  sits  at  je-  an(l  a  certain  woman  named  Martha  received  him  into  her  house. 
And  she  had  a  sister  called  Mary,  which  also  sat  at  Jesus'  feet, 
and  heard  his  word.  But  Martha  was  cumbered  about  much  serving,  and 
came  to  him,  and  said,  "  Lord,  dost  thou  not  care  that  my  sister  hath  left 
me  to  serve  alone  ?  bid  her  therefore  that  she  help  me."  And  Jesus  an 
swered  and  said  unto  her,  "  Martha,  Martha,  thou  art  careful  and  troubled 
about  many  things :  but  one  thing  is  needful :  and  Mary  hath  chosen  that 
good  part,  which  shall  not  be  taken  away  from  her." 

And  it  came  to  pass,  as  he  was  praying  in  a  certain  place,   when  he 

ceased,  one  of  his  disciples  said  unto  him,  "  Lord,  teach  us  to  pray,  as  John 

also  taught  his  disciples."     And  he  said  unto  them,  "When  ye  pray,  say, 

Our  Father  which  art  in  heaven,  Hallowed  be  thy  name.     Thy  kingdom 

come.     Thy  will  be  done,  as  in  heaven,  so  in  earth.     Give  us 

Christ  teaches  to  J 

pray-  day  by  day  our  daily  bread.  And  forgive  us  our  sins  ;  for  we 

also  forgive  every  one  that  is  indebted  to  us.  And  lead  us  not  into  temp 
tation  ;  but  deliver  us  from  evil." 

And  he  said  unto  them,  "  Which  of  you  shall  have  a  friend,  and  shall  go 
unto  him  at  midnight,  and  say  unto  him,  Friend,  lend  me  three  loaves  ; 
for  a  friend  of  mine  in  his  journey  is  come  to  me,  and  I  have  nothing  to 
set  before  him  1  And  he  from  within  shall  answer  and  say,  Trouble  me 
not :  the  door  is  now  shut,  and  my  children  are  with  me  in  bed ;  I  cannot 
rise  and  give  thee.  I  say  unto  you,  Though  he  will  not  rise  and  give  him, 
The  importunate  because  he  is  his  friend,  yet  because  of  his  importunity  he  will 
rise  and  give  him  as  many  as  he  needeth.  And  I  say  unto 
you,  Ask,  and  it  shall  be  given  you ;  seek,  and  ye  shall  find ;  knock,  and  it 
shall  be  opened  unto  you.  For  every  one  that  asketh  receiveth ;  and  he 
that  seeketh  findeth  ;  and  to  him  that  knocketh  it  shall  be  opened.  If  a 
son  shall  ask  bread  of  any  of  you  that  is  a  father,  Avill  he  give  him  a  stone  ? 
or  if  he  ask  a  fish,  will  he  for  a  fish  give  him  a  serpent  1  or  if  he  shall 
ask  an  egg,  will  he  offer  him  a  scorpion  ?  If  ye  then,  being  evil,  know 
how  to  give  good  gifts  unto  your  children,  how  much  more  shall  your 
heavenly  Father  give  the  Holy  Spirit  to  them  that  ask  him  ?  " 

And  he  was  teaching  in  one  of  the  synagogues  on  the  sabbath.  And,  be 
hold,  there  was  a  woman  which  had  a  spirit  of  infirmity  eighteen  years,  and 
was  bowed  together,  and  could  in  no  wise  lift  up  herself.  And  when  Jesus 
saw  her,  he  called  her  to  him,  and  said  unto  her,  "  Woman,  thou  art  loosed 


ui:'   MARTHA  AND   MAKV. 


150 


THE  MUSTARD-SEED. 


from  thine  infirmity."     Arid  lie  laid  his  hands  on  her :  and  immediately  she 

was  made  straight,  and  glorified  God.      And  the  ruler  of  the  synagogue 

answered  with  indignation,  because  that  Jesus  had  healed  on 

He  healeth  an 

infirm  woman.  t]ie  Sabbath  day,  and  said  unto  the  people,  "  There  are  six  days 
in  which  men  ought  to  work :  in  them  therefore  come  and  be  healed,  and 
not  on  the  sabbath  day."  The  Lord  then  answered  him,  and  said,  "Thou 
hypocrite,  doth  not  each  one  of  you  on  the  sabbath  loose  his  ox  or  his  ass 
from  the  stall,  and  lead  him  away  to  watering?  and  ought  not  this  woman, 
being  a  daughter  of  Abraham,  whom  Satan  hath  bound,  lo,  these  eighteen 
years,  be  loosed  from  this  bond  on  the  sabbath 
day  ?  "  And  when  he  had  said  these  things,  all  his 
adversaries  were  ashamed :  and  all  the  people  re 
joiced  for  all  the  glorious  things  that  were  done 
by  him. 

Then  said  he,  "  Unto  what  is  the  kingdom  of 
God  like?  and  whereunto  shall  I  resemble  it?  it 
is  like  a  grain  of  mustard-seed,  which  a  man  took, 
and  cast  into  his  garden  ;  and  it  grew,  and  waxed  a 
great  tree  ;  and  the  fowls  of  the  air  lodged  in  the 
branches  of  it." 

And    again    he    said,    "  Whereunto    shall   I  liken  MUSTARD-

CHAPTER    XXV. 

THE  BLASPHEMY  OF  THE  PHARISEES,  AND  CHRIST'S  DISCOURSE  THEREON. 

* 

'ND  he  was  casting1  out  a  devil,  and  it  was  dumb.     And  it 

came  to  pass,  when  the  devil  was  gone  out,  the  dumb 
spake  ;  and  the  people  wondered.  But  some  of  them  said, 
"He  castetli  out  devils  through  Beelzebub  the  chief  of  the 
devils."  And  others,  tempting  him,  sought  of  him  a  sign 
from  heaven.  But  he,  knowing  their  thoughts,  said  unto 
them,  "  Every  kingdom  divided  against  itself  is  brought  to  desolation;  and 
a  house  divided  against  a  house  falleth.  If  Satan  also  be  divided  against 
himself,  how  shall  his  kingdom  stand  ?  because  ye  say  that  I  cast  out  devils 
The  Pharisees  through  Beelzebub.  And  if  I  by  Beelzebub  cast  out  devils,  by 
whom  do  your  sons  cast  them  out?  therefore  shall  they  be  your 
judges.  But  if  I  with  the  finger  of  God  cast  out  devils,  no  doubt  the  king 
dom  of  God  is  come  upon  you.  When  a  strong  man  armed  keepeth  his 
palace,  his  goods  are  in  peace  :  but  when  a  stronger  than  he  shall  come 
upon  him,  and  overcome  him,  he  taketh  from  him  all  his  armor  wherein  he 
trusted,  and  divideth  his  spoils.  He  that  is  not  with  me  is  against  me ;  and 
he  that  gathereth  not  with  me  scattereth.  When  the  unclean  spirit  is  gone 
out  of  a  man,  he  walketh  through  dry  places,  seeking  rest;  and  finding 
none,  he  saith,  I  will  return  unto  my  house  whence  I  came  out.  And  when 
he  cometh,  he  findeth  it  swept  and  garnished.  Then  goeth  he,  and  taketh 
to  him  seven  other  spirits  more  wicked  than  himself;  and  they  enter  in, 
and  dwell  there :  and  the  last  state  of  that  man  is  worse  than  the  first." 
And  it  came  to  pass,  as  he  spake  these  things,  a  certain  woman  of  the 
company  lifted  up  her  voice,  and  said  unto  him,  "  Blessed  is  the 

Who  are  blessed.  i 

womb  that  bare  thee,  and  the  paps  winch  tnou  hast  sucked. 
But  he  said,  "  Yea  rather,  blessed  are  they  that  hear  the  word  of  God,  and 
keep  it." 

And  when  the  people  were  gathered  thick  together,  he  began  to  say, 
" An  evil  and  adulterous  generation  seeketh  after  a  sign;  and 
there  shall  no  sign  be  given  to  it,  but  the  sign  of  the  prophet 
Jonas :  for  as  Jonas  was  three  days  and  three  nights  in  the  whale's  belly, 

is? 


THE  EVIL   SPIRIT   THAT  RETURNED,  153 

so  shall  the  Son  of  man  be  three  days  and  three  nights  in  the  heart  of  the 
earth.  The  men  of  Nineveh  shall  rise  in  judgment  with  this  generation, 
and  shall  condemn  it:  because  they  repented  at  the  preaching  of  .Jonas; 
and,  behold,  a  greater  than  Jonas  is  here.  The  queen  of  the  south  shall 
rise  up  in  the  judgment  with  this  generation,  and  shall  condemn  it  :  for  she 
came  from  the  uttermost  parts  of  the  earth  to  hear  the  wisdom  of  Solomon  ; 
and,  behold,  a  greater  than  Solomon  is  here." 

"  No  man,  when  he  hath  lighted  a  candle,  putteth  it  in  a  secret  place, 
neither  under  a  bushel,  but  on  a  candlestick,  that  they  which  come  in  may 
see  the  light.  The  light  of  the  body  is  the  eye  :  therefore  when  thine  eye 
is  single,  thy  whole  body  also  is  full  of  light  ;  but  when  thine  eve  is  evil, 

•/  V  */ 

thy  body  also  is  full  of  darkness.  Take  heed  therefore  that  the  light  which 
is  in  thee  be  not  darkness.  If  thy  whole  body  therefore  be  full  of  light, 
having  no  part  dark,  the  whole  shall  be  full  of  light,  as  when  the  bright 
shining  of  a  candle  doth  give  thec  light. 

"When  the  unclean  spirit  is  gone  out  of  a  man,  he  walketh  through  dry 
places,  seeking  rest,  and  findeth  none.  Then  he  saith,  I  will  return  into 
my  house  from  whence  I  came  out  ;  and  when  he  is  come,  he 

J  The  evil  spirit 

findeth  it  empty,  swept,  and  garnished.      Then  goeth  he,  and  thatreturned- 
taketh  with  himself  seven  other  spirits  more  wicked  than  himself,  and  they 
enter  in  and  dwell  there  :  and  the  last  state  of  that  man  is  worse  than  the 
first.     Even  so  shall  it  be  also  unto  this  wicked  generation." 

While  he  yet  talked  to  the  people,  behold,  his  mother  and  his  brethren 
stood  without,  desiring  to  speak  with  him.  And  they  could  not  come  at 
him  for  the  press.  Then  one  said  unto  him,  "  Behold,  thy  mother  and  thy 
brethren  stand  without,  desiring  to  speak  with  thee."  Hut  lie  chriat  declares 

i  i          •  •  i  iii-  ITTI         •  i          j    who  are  his  breth- 

answered  and  said  unto  him  that  told  him,  "Who  is  my  mother?  ren 
and  who  are  my  brethren!"     And  he  stretched  forth  his  hand  toward  his 
disciples,  and  said,  "  Behold  my  mother  and  my  brethren  !      For  whosoever 
shall  do  the  will  of  my  Father  which  is  in  heaven,  the  same  is  my  brother, 
and  sister,  and  mother." 

And  as  he  spake,  a  certain  Pharisee  besought  him  to  dine  with  him  :  and 
he  went  in,  and  sat  down  to  meat.  And  when  the  Pharisee  saw  it,  he  mar 
veled  that  he  had  not  first  washed  before  dinner.  And  the  Lord  said  unto 
him,  "Now  do  ye  Pharisees  make  clean  the  outside  of  the  cup 
and  the  platter  ;  but  your  inward  part  is  full  of  ravening  and 
wickedness.  Ye  fools,  did  not  he  that  made  that  which  is  without  make 
that  which  is  within  also  ?  but  rather  give  alms  of  such  things  as  ye  have  ; 
and,  behold,  all  things  are  clean  unto  you.  But  woe  unto  you,  Pharisees  ! 
for  ye  tithe  mint  and  rue  and  all  manner  of  herbs,  and  pass  over

and  not  to  leave  the  other  undone.     Woe  unto  you,  Pharisees  !  for  ye  love

the  uppermost  seats  in  the  synagogues,  and  greetings  in  the  markets.  Woe 
unto  you,  scribes  and  Pharisees,  hypocrites !  for  ye  are  as  graves  which 
appear  not,  and  the  men  that  walk  over  them  are  not  aware  of  them." 

Then  answered  one  of  the  lawyers,  and  said  unto  him,  "  Master,  thus 
saying  thou  reproaches!  us  also."  And  he  said,  "  Woe  unto  you  also,  ye 
lawyers  !  for  ye  lade  men  with  burdens  grievous  to  be  borne,  and  ye  your 
selves  touch  not  the  burdens  with  one  of  your  fingers.  Woe  unto  you  !  for 
ye  build  the  sepulchers  of  the  prophets,  and  your  fathers  killed  them. 
Truly  ye  bear  witness  that  ye  allow  the  deeds  of  your  fathers :  for  they 
indeed  killed  them,  and  ye  build  their  sepulchers.  Therefore  also  said  the 
wisdom  of  God,  I  will  send  them  prophets  and  apostles,  and  some  of  them 
they  shall  slay  and  persecute :  that  the  blood  of  all  the  prophets,  which  was 
shed  from  the  foundation  of  the  world,  may  be  required  of  this  generation ; 
from  the  blood  of  Abel  unto  the  blood  of  Zacharias,  which  perished  be 
tween  the  altar  and  the  temple :  verily  I  say  unto  you,  It  shall  be  required 
of  this  generation.  Woe  unto  you,  lawyers !  for  ye  have  taken  away  the 
key  of  knowledge:  ye  entered  not  in  yourselves,  and  them  that  were 
entering  in  ye  hindered." 

And  as  he  said  these  things  unto  them,  the  scribes  and  the  Pharisees 
began  to  urge  him  vehemently,  and  to  provoke  him  to  speak  of  many 
things:  laying  wait  for  him,  and  seeking  to  catch  something  out  of  his 
mouth,  that  they  might  accuse  him. 


CHAPTER    XXVI. 


Not  to  fear  men. 


WARNINGS     AGAINST     HYPOCRISY,     COWARDICE,     WORLDLINESS,     AND 

UNFAITHFULNESS. 

the  mean  time,  when  there  were  gathered  together  an 
innumerable  multitude  of  people,  insomuch  that  they  trode 
one  upon  another,  he  began  to  say  unto  his  disciples  first 
of  all,  "Beware  ye  of  the  leaven  of  the  Pharisees,  which  is 
£pL,  hypocrisy.  For  there  is  nothing  covered,  that  shall  not  be 
revealed ;  neither  hid,  that  shall  not  be  known.  There 
fore  whatsoever  ye  have  spoken  in  darkness  shall  be  heard  in  the  light ; 
and  that  which  ye  have  spoken  in  the  ear  in  closets  shall  be  proclaimed 
upon  the  house-tops.  And  I  say  unto  you,  my  friends,  Be  not  afraid  of 
them  that  kill  the  body,  and  after  that  have  no  more  that  they 
can  do.  But  I  will  forewarn  you  Avhom  ye  shall  fear:  Fear 
him,  which  after  he  hath  killed  hath  power  to  cast  into  hell ;  yea,  I  say 
unto  you,  Fear  him. 

"Are  not  five  sparrows  sold  for  two  farthings,  and  not  one  of  them 
is  forgotten  before  God?  But  even  the  very  hairs  of  your  head  are  all 
numbered.  Fear  not  therefore :  ye  are  of  more  value  than  many  spar 
rows.  Also  I  say  unto  you,  Whosoever  shall  confess  me  before  men, 
him  shall  the  Son  of  man  also  confess  before  the  angels  of 
God :  but  he  that  denieth  me  before  men  shall  be  denied 
before  the  angels  of  God.  And  when  they  bring  you  unto  the  syna 
gogues,  and  unto  magistrates,  and  powers,  take  ye  no  thought  how  or 
what  thing  ye  shall  answer,  or  what  ye  shall  say:  for  the  Holy  Ghost 
shall  teach  you  in  the  same  hour  what  ye  ought  to  say." 

And  one  of  the  company  said  unto  him,  "  Master,  speak  to  my  brother, 
that  he  divide  the  inheritance  with  me."  And  he  said  unto  him,  "  Man, 
Against  covetous-  who  made  me  a  judge  or  a  divider  over  you?"  And  he  said 
unto  them,  "Take  heed,  and  beware  of  covetousness :  for  a 
man's  life  consisteth  not  in  the  abundance  of  the  things  which  he  pos- 
sesseth." 

And  he  spake  a  parable  unto  them,  saying,  "  The  ground  of  a  certain

rich  man  brought  forth  plentifully :  and  he  thought  within  himself,  saying, 
What  shall  I   do,  because  I  have  no  room  where  to  bestow  my  The  parable  of 
fruits?     And  he   said,    This  will    I    do:    I   will  pull  down   my 
barns,  and  build  greater ;   and  there  will   I   bestow  all  my  fruits  and  my 
goods.     And  1  will  say  to  my  soul,  Soul,  thou  hast  much  goods  laid  up  for 

many  years  ;  take  thine  ease,  eat,  drink, 
and  be  merry.  But  God  said  unto  him, 
Thou  fool,  this  night  thy  soul  shall  be 
required  of  thee :  then  whose  shall  those 
things  be,  which  thou  hast  provided?  So 
is  he  that  layeth  up  treasure  for  himself, 
and  is  not  rich  toward  God." 

And  he  said  unto  his  disciples,  "  There 
fore  I  say  unto  you,  Take  no  thought  for 
your  life,  what  ye  shall  eat ;  neither  for 
the  body,  what  ye  shall  put  on.  The  life 
is  more  than  meat,  and  the  body  or  thought  uk- 
is  more  than  raiment.  Consider 
the  ravens  :  for  they  neither  sow  nor  reap  ; 
which  neither  have  storehouse  nor  barn ; 
and  God  feedeth  them:  how  much  more 
are  ye  better  than  the  fowls  '?  And  which 
of  you  with  taking  thought  can  add  to  his 
stature  one  cubit?  If  ye  then  be  not  able 
to  do  that  thing  which  is  least,  why  take 
ye  thought  for  the  rest  ?  Consider  the  lilies 
how  they  grow :  they  toil  not,  they  spin 
not;  and  yet  I  say  unto  you,  that  Solomon  in  all  his  glory  was  not  arrayed 
like  one  of  these.  If  then  God  so  clothe  the  grass,  which  is  to-day  in  the 
field,  and  to-morrow  is  cast  into  the  oven;  how  much  more  will  he  clothe 
you,  0  ye  of  little  faith  ?  And  seek  not  ye  what  ye  shall  eat,  or  what  ye 
shall  drink,  neither  be  ye  of  doubtful  mind.  For  all  these  things  do  the 
nations  of  the  world  seek  after :  and  your  father  knoweth  that  ye  have 
need  of  these  things.  But  rather  seek  ye  the  kingdom  of  God ;  and  all 
these  things  shall  be  added  unto  you.  Fear  not,  little  flock  ;  for  it  is  your 
Father's  good  pleasure  to  give  you  the  kingdom. 

"  Sell  that  ye  have,  and  give  alms  ;  provide  yourselves  bags  which  wax

knocketh,  they  may  open  unto  him  immediately.  Blessed  are  those  ser 
vants,  whom  the  lord  when  he  cometh  shall  find  watching: 
verily  I  say  unto  you,  that  he  shall  gird  himself,  and  make  them 
to  sit  down  to  meat,  and  will  come  forth  and  serve  them.  And  if  he  shall 
come  in  the  second  watch,  or  come  in  the  third  watch,  and  find  them 
so,  blessed  are  those  servants.  And  this  know,  that  if  the  good  man  of 
the  house  had  known  what  hour  the  thief  would  come,  he  would  have 
watched,  and  not  have  suffered  his  house  to  be  broken  through.  Be  ye 
therefore  ready  also  :  for  the  Son  of  man  cometh  at  an  hour  when  ye  think 
not." 

Then  Peter  said  unto  him,  "  Lord,  speakest  thou  this  parable  unto  us,  or 
even  to  all?"  And  the  Lord  said,  "Who  then  is  that  faithful  and  wise 
steward,  whom  his  lord  shall  make  ruler  over  his  household,  to  give  them 
their  portion  of  meat  in  due  season  1  Blessed  is  that  servant  whom  his  lord 
when  he  cometh  shall  find  so  doing.  Of  a  truth  I  say  unto  you,  that  he 
will  make  him  ruler  over  all  that  he  hath.  But  and  if  that  servant  say  in 
his  heart,  My  lord  delay eth  his  coming ;  and  shall  begin  to  beat  the  men- 
servants  and  maidens,  and  to  eat  and  drink,  and  to  be  drunken  ;  the  lord 
of  that  servant  will  come  in  a  day  when  he  looketh  not  for  him,  and  at  an 
hour  when  he  is  not  aware,  and  will  cut  him  in  sunder,  and  will  appoint 
him  his  portion  with  the  unbelievers.  And  that  servant  which  knew  his 
lord's  will,  and  prepared  not  himself,  neither  did  according  to  his  will,  shall 
be  beaten  with  many  stripes.  But  he  that  knew  not,  and  did  commit  things 
worthy  of  stripes,  shall  be  beaten  with  few  stripes.  For  unto  whomsoever 
much  is  given,  of  him  shall  be  much  required :  and  to  whom  men  have 
committed  much,  of  him  they  will  ask  the  more. 

"  I  am  come  to  send  fire  on  the  earth ;  and  what  will  I,  if  it  be  already 
kindled  ?  but  I  have  a  baptism  to  be  baptized  with  ;  and  how  am  I 
straitened  till  it  be  accomplished  ?  Suppose  ye  that  I  am  come  to  give 
The  religion  of  peace  on  earth  ?  I  tell  you,  Nay;  but  rather  division:  for 

Christ  causes  pi  •/'•/' 

division.  from   henceforth   there    shall   be    five   in    one    house    divided, 

three  against  two,  and  two  against  three.  The  father  shall  be  divided 
against  the  son,  and  the  son  against  the  father;  the  mother  against 
the  daughter,  and  the  daughter  against  the  mother ;  the  mother-in-law 
against  her  daughter-in-law,  and  the  daughter-in-law  against  her  mother- 
in-law." 

And  he  said  also  to  the  people,  u  When  ye  see  a  cloud  rise  out  of  the 
of  the  signs  of  the  west?  straightway  ye  say,  There  cometh  a  shower;  and  so 
it  is.  And  when  ye  see  the  south-wind  blow,  ye  say,  There 
will  be  heat ;  and  it  cometh  to  pass.  Ye  hypocrites,  ye  can  discern  the 
face  of  the  sky  and  of  the  earth ;  but  how  is  it  that  ye  do  not  discern 
this  time?

lest  he  hale  thee  to  the  judge,  and  the  judge  deliver  thee  to  the  officer,  and 
the  officer  cast  thee  into  prison.     1  tell  thee,  thou  shalt  not  depart  thence, 
till  thou  hast  paid  the  very  last  mite." 

There  were  present  at  that  season  some  that  told  him  of  the  Galileans, 
whose  blood  Pilate  had  mingled  with  their  sacrifices.     And  Jesus  answer 
ing  said  unto  them,  "  Suppose  ye  that  these  Galileans  were  sinners  above 
all  the  Galileans,  because  they  suffered  such  things  f      1   tell  you,  Nay : 
but,  except  ye  repent,  ye  shall  all  likewise  perish.     Or  those  ^g^^

tell  you,  Nay :  but,  except  ye  repent,  ye  shall  all  likewise  perish." 

He  spake  also  this  parable :  "A  certain  man  had  a  fig-tree  planted  in  his 
vineyard ;  and  he  came  and  sought  fruit  thereon,  and  found  none.  Then 
said  he  unto  the  dresser  of  his  vineyard,  Behold,  these  three  years  I  come 
seeking  fruit  on  this  fig-tree,  and  find  none:  cut  it  down ;  why  Parableoftheun.

Lord,  let  it  alone  this  year  also,  till  I  shall  dig  about  it,  and  dung  it :  and 
if  it  bear  fruit,  well :  and  if  not,  then  after  that  thou  shalt  cut  it  down." 


CHAPTEE    XXVII. 

AT  THE  FEAST  OF  DEDICATION,  AND  BEYOXD  JORDAN. 


it  was  at  Jerusalem  the  feast  of  the  dedication,  and  it 
was  winter.    And  Jesus  walked  in  the  temple  in  Solomon's 
porch.     Then  came  the  Jews  round  about  him,  arid  said 
unto  him,  "  How  long  dost  thou  make  us  to  doubt?     If 
^    thou  be  the  Christ,  tell  us  plainly."     Jesus  answered  them, 
•"  I  told  you,  and  ye  believed  not :  the  works  that  I  do  in 
my  Father's  name,  they  bear  witness  of  me.     But  ye  believe  not,  because 
HedeciarethMm-  ye  are  not  of  my  sheep,  as  I  said  unto  you.     My  sheep  hear

of  God.  my  voice,  and  1  know  them,  and  they  iollow  me:    and  1  give 


unto  them  eternal  life  ;  and  they  shall  never  perish,  neither  shall  any  man 
pluck  them  out  of  my  hand.  My  Father,  which  gave  them  me,  is  greater 
than  all  ;  and  no  man  is  able  to  pluck  them  out  of  my  Father's  hand.  I 
and  my  Father  are  one." 

Then  the  Jews  took  up  stones  again  to  stone  him.    Jesus  answered  them, 

"Many  good  works  have  I  showed  you  from  my  Father;   for  which  of 

those  works  do  ye  stone  me  ?  "     The  Jews  answered  him,  say- 

The  Jews  seek  to  •>  J 

ing,  "  For  a  good  work  we  stone  thee  not  ;  but  for  blasphemy; 
and  because  that  thou,  being  a  man,  makest  thyself  God."  Jesus  answered 
them,  "  Is  it  not  written  in  your  law,  I  said,  Ye  are  gods  ?  If  he  called 
them  gods,  unto  whom  the  word  of  God  came,  and  the  scripture  cannot  be 
broken  ;  say  ye  of  him,  whom  the  Father  hath  sanctified,  and  sent  into  the 
world,  Thou  blasphemest  ;  because  I  said,  I  am  the  Son  of  God  ?  If  I  do 
not  the  works  of  my  Father,  believe  me  not.  But  if  I  do,  though  ye  be 
lieve  not  me,  believe  the  works  :  that  ye  may  know,  and  believe,  that  the 
Father  is  in  me,  and  I  in  him."  Therefore  they  sought  again  to  take  him  : 
but  he  escaped  out  of  their  hand. 

And  he  went  away  again  beyond  Jordan  into  the  place  where  John  at 
,  first  baptized  ;  and  there  he  abode.     And  great  multitudes  fol- 

He  retires  beyond 

lowed  him,  and  said,  "John  did  no  miracle:  but  all  things  that 
John  spake  of  this  man  were  true."  And  many  believed  on  him  there. 
And  as  he  was  wont  he  taught  them  again  and  healed  them.

OF    THE  STRAIT   GATE.  1(J1 

And  he  went  through  the  cities  and  villages,  teaching,  and  journeying 
toward  Jerusalem.  Then  said  one  unto  him,  "  Lord,  arc  there  few  that  be 
saved?"  And  he  said  unto  them,  "Strive  to  enter  in  at  the  strait  gate: 
for  manv,  I  sav  unto  yon,  will  seek  to  enter  in,  and  shall  not 
be  able.  When  once  the  master  of  the  house  is  risen  up,  and 
hath  shut  to  the  door,  and  ye  begin  to  stand  without,  and  to  knock  at  the 
door,  saying,  Lord,  Lord,  open  unto  us;  and  lie  shall  answer  and  say 
unto  you,  I  know  you  not  whence  ye  are:  then  shall  ye  beg-in  to  say, 
We  have  eaten  and  drunk  in  thy  presence,  and  thou  hast  taught  in  our 
streets  Hut  he  shall  say,  I  tell  you,  1  know  you  not  whence  ye  are  ; 
depart  from  me,  all  ye  workers  of  iniquity.  There  shall  be  weeping  and 
gnashing-  of  teeth,  when  ye  shall  see  Abraham,  and  Isaac,  and  .Jacob,  and 
all  the  prophets,  in  the  kingdom  of  God,  and  yon  yourselves  thrust  out. 
And  they  shall  come  from  the  east,  and  from  the  west,  and  from  the  north, 
and  from  the  south,  and  shall  sit  down  in  the  kingdom  of  God.  And, 
behold,  there  are  last  which  shall  be  first,  and  there  are  first,  which  shall 
be  last. 

The  same  day  there  came  certain  of  the  Pharisees,  saying  unto  him, 
"Get  thee  out,  and  depart  hence:  for  llerod  will  kill  thee."  And  he  said 
unto  them,  "  Go  ye,  and  tell  that  fox,  Behold,  I  cast  out  devils,  The  Pharisees  en- 

'  111-iiriii     dcavor  to  frighten 

and  I  do  cures  to-day  and  to-morrow,  and  the  third  day  1  shall  him 
be  perfected.  Nevertheless  I  must  walk  to-day,  and  to-morrow,  and  the 
day  following:  for  it  cannot  be  that  a  prophet  perish  out  of  Jerusalem.  O 
Jerusalem,  Jerusalem,  which  killest  the  prophets,  and  stonest  them  that  are 
sent  unto  thee;  how  often  would  I  have  gathered  thy  children  He  lamenteth  the 
together,  as  a  hen  doth  gather  her  brood  under  her  wings,  and 

ve  would  not  !     Behold,  your  house  is  left  unto  you  desolate:  and  verily  I 

•  '  «,  «/  •> 

say  unto  yon,  Ye  shall  not  see  me,  until  the  time  come  when  ye  shall  say, 
Blessed  is  he  that  cometh  in  the  name  of  the  Lord." 

And  it  came  to  pass,  as  he  went  into  the  house  of  one  of  the  chief  Phari 
sees  to  eat  bread  on  the  sabbath  day,  that  they  watched  him.  And,  behold, 
there  was  a  certain  man  before  him  which  had  the  dropsy.  And  Jesus 
answering  spake  unto  the  lawyers  and  Pharisees,  saying,  "  Is  it  lawful  to 
heal  on  the  sabbath  day  ?  "  And  they  held  their  peace.  And  he  took  him, 
and  healed  him,  and  let  him  go;  and  answered  them,  saying,  He  healeth  a  roan 
"Which  of  you  shall  have  an  ass  or  an  ox  fallen  into  a  pit,  and 
will  not  straightway  pull  him  out  on  the  sabbath  day  ?  "  And 
they  could  not  answer  him  again  to  these  things. 

And  he  put  forth  a  parable  to  those  which  were  bidden,  when  he  marked 
how  they  chose  out  the  chief  rooms  ;  saying  unto  them,  "When  . 

•>  .  HP  t<Mcheth 

thou  art  bidden  of  any  man  to  a  wedding,  sit  not  down  in  the  * 

highest  room;  lest  a  more  honorable  man  than  thou  be  bidden  of  him  ;   and

he  that  bade  thee  and  him  come  and  say  to  thee,  Give  this  man  place; 
and  thou  begin  with  shame  to  take  the  lowest  room.  Hut  when  thou  art 
bidden,  go  and  sit  down  in  the  lowest  room ;  that  when  he  that  bade  thee 
cometh,  he  may  say  unto  thee,  Friend,  go  up  higher:  then  shalt  thou 
have  worship  in  the  presence  of  them  that  sit  at  meat  with  thee.  For  who 
soever  exalteth  himself  shall  be  abased;  and  he  that  humbleth  himself  shall 
be  exalted."  Then  said  he  also  to  him  that  bade  him,  "When  thou  makes! 
a  dinner  or  a  supper,  call  not  thy  friends,  nor  thy  brethren,  neither  thy 
kinsmen,  nor  thy  rich  neighbors  ;  lest  they  also  bid  thee  again,  and  a 
recompense  be  made  thee.  Hut  when  thou  makes!  a  feast,  Of inviting tho 
call  the  poor,  the  maimed,  the  lame,  the  blind:  and  thou  shalt  v'~'° 
be  blessed;  for  they  cannot  recompense  thee:  for  thou  shalt  be  recom 
pensed  at  the  resurrection  of  the  just." 

And  when  one  of  them  that  sat  at  meat  with  him  heard  these  things,  he 
said  unto  him,  "  Blessed  is  he  that  shall  eat  bread  in  the  kingdom  of  God." 
Then  said  he  unto  him,  "A  certain  man  made  a  great  supper,  and  bade 
many:  and  sent  his  servant  at  supper-time  to  say  to  them  that  were  bidden, 
Come;  for  all  things  arc  now  ready.  And  they  all  with  one  consent  be 
gan  to  make  excuse.  The  firs!  said  unto  him,  I  have  bought  a  The  piirabie  of 
piece  of  ground,  and  I  must  needs  go  and  see  it :  I  pray  thee 
have  me  excused.  And  another  said,  I  have  bought  five  yoke  of  oxen, 
and  I  go  to  prove  them:  I  pray  thee  have  me  excused.  And  another  said, 
I  have  married  a  wife,  and  therefore  I  cannot  come.  80  that  servant 
came,  and  showed  his  lord  these  things.  Then  the  master  of  the  house 
being  angry  said  to  his  servant,  Go  out  quickly  into  the  streets  and  lanes 
of  the  city,  and  bring  in  hither  the  poor,  and  the  maimed,  and  the  halt,  and 
the  blind.  And  the  servant  said,  Lord,  it  is  done  as  thou  hast  commanded, 
and  yet  there  is  room.  And  the  lord  said  unto  the  servant,  Go  out  into  the 
highways  and  hedges,  and  compel  them  to  come  in,  that  my  house  may  be 

filled.  For  I  say  unto  you, 
That  none  of  those  men 
which  were  bidden  shall 
taste  of  my  supper." 

And  there  went  great 
multitudes  with  him :  and 
he  turned,  and  said  unto 
them,  "  If  any 
man  come  to 
me,  and  hate  not  his  fa

drew  near  unto  him  all  the  publicans  and  sinners  for 
to  hear  him.  And  the  Pharisees  and  scribes  murmured, 
saying,  "  This  man  receiveth  sinners,  and  eateth  with 
them."  And  he  spake  this  parable  unto  them,  saying, 
"What  man  of  you,  having  an  hundred  sheep,  if  he  lose 
one  of  them,  doth  not  leave  the  ninety  and  nine  in  the  wilderness,  and 
go  after  that  which  is  lost,  until  he  find  it?  and  when  he  hath  found  it, 
he  layeth  it  on  his  shoulders,  rejoicing.  And  wrhen  he  cometli  home,  he 
calleth  together  his  friends  and  neighbors,  saying  unto  them, 
Rejoice  with  me ;  for  I  have  found  my  sheep  which  was  lost, 
I  say  unto  you,  that  likewise  joy  shall  be  in  heaven  over  one  sinner  that 
repenteth,  more  than  over  ninety  and  nine  just  persons,  which  need  no 
repentance. 

"  Either  what  woman  having  ten  pieces  of  silver,  if  she  lose  one  piece, 

doth  not  light  a  candle,  and  sweep  the  house,  and  seek  diligently  till  she 

find  it  ?  and  when  she  hath  found  it,  she  calleth  her  friends  and 

The  lost  piece  of 

her  neighbors  together,  saying,  Rejoice  with  me  ;  for  I  have 
found  the  piece  which  I  had  lost.  Likewise,  I  say  unto  you,  there  is  joy 
in  the  presence  of  the  angels  of  God  over  one  sinner  that  repenteth." 

And  he  said,  "A  certain  man  had  two  sons:  and  the  younger  of  them 
said  to  his  father,  Father,  give  me  the  portion  of  goods  that  falleth  to  me. 
Arid  he  divided  unto  them  his  living.  And  not  many  days  after  the 
younger  son  gathered  all  together,  and  took  his  journey  into  a  far  coun 
try,  and  there  wasted  his  substance  with  riotous  living.  And  when  he 
had  spent  all,  there  arose  a  mighty  famine  in  that  land ;  and  he  began 
to  be  in  want,  And  he  went  and  joined  himself  to  a  citizen  of  that 
country ;  and  he  sent  him  into  his  fields  to  feed  swine.  And  he  would 
fain  have  filled  his  belly  with  the  husks  that  the  swine  did  eat :  and  no 
man  gave  unto  him.  And  when  he  came  to  himself,  he  said,  How  many 
hired  servants  of  my  father's  have  bread  enough  and  to  spare,  and  I 
perish  with  hunger !  I  will  arise  and  go  to  my  father,  and  will  say  unto

him,  Father,  I  have  sinned  against  heaven,  and  before  thee,  and  am  no 
more  worthy  to  be  called  thy  son:  make  me  as  one  of  thy 
hired  servants.  And  he  arose,  and  came  to  his  father.  Hut 
when  'lie  was  yet  a  great  way  off,  his  father  saw  him,  and  had  com 
passion,  and  ran,  and  fell  on  his  neck,  and  kissed  him.  And  the  son 
said  nnto  him,  Father,  1  have  sinned  against  heaven,  and  in  thy  sight, 
and  am  no  more  worthy  to  be  called  thy  son.  Uut  the  father  said  to  his 
servants,  liring  forth  the  best  robe,  and  put  it  on  him ;  and  put  a  ring 
on  his  hand,  and  shoes  on  his  feet:  and  bring  hither  the  fatted  calf,  and 
kill  it;  and  let  us  eat,  and  be  merry:  for  this  my  son  was  dead,  and  is 
alive  again ;  he  was  lost,  and  is  found.  And  they  began  to  be  merry. 
Now  his  elder  son  was  in  the  lield :  and  as  he  came  and  drew  ni«'-h  to 

O 

the  house,  he  heard  music  and  dancing.  And  he  called  one  of  the  ser 
vants,  and  asked  what  these  things  meant.  And  he  said  unto  him,  Thy 
brother  is  come  ;  and  thy  father  hath  killed  the  fatted  calf,  because  he  hath 
received  him  safe  and  sound.  And  he  was  angry,  and  would  not  go  in  : 
therefore  came  his  father  out,  and  entreated  him.  And  he  answering  said 

o 

to  his  father,  Lo,  these  many  years  do  I  serve  thee,  neither  transgressed  1 
at  any  time  thy  commandment  :  and  yet  thou  never  gavest  me  a  kid,  that 
I  might  make  merry  with  my  friends:  but  as  soon  as  this  thy  son  was 
nnne,  which  hath  devoured  thy  living  with  harlots,  thou  hast  killed  for  him 
the  fatted  calf.  And  he  said  unto  him,  Son,  thou  art  ever  with  me,  and 
all  that  I  have  is  thine.  It  was  meet  that  we  should  make  merry,  and  be 
glad:  for  this  thy  brother  was  dead,  #nd  is  alive  again;  and  was  lost,  and 
is  found." 

And  he  said  also  unto  his  disciples,  "  There  was  a  certain  rich  man, 
which  had  a  steward  ;  and  the  same  was  accused  unto  him  that  he  had 
wasted  his  goods.  And  he  called  him,  and  said  unto  him,  How  is  it  that  1 
hear  this  of  thee  ?  inve  an  account  of  thy  stewardship:  for  thou  n 

J  The  unj  ust  stew- 

mayest  be  no  longer  steward.  Then  the  steward  said  within  ard- 
himself,  What  shall  I  do  ?  for  my  lord  taketli  away  from  me  the  steward 
ship:  I  cannot  dig;  to  beg  I  am  ashamed.  I  am  resolved  what  to  do,  that, 
when  I  am  put  out  of  the  stewardship,  they  may  receive  me  into  their 
houses.  80  he  called  every  one  of  his  lord's  debtors  unto  him,  and  said 
unto  the  first,  How  much  owest  thou  unto  my  lord?  And  he  said,  An 
hundred  measures  of  oil.  And  he  said  unto  him,  Take  thy  bill,  and  sit 
down  quickly,  and  write  fifty.  Then  said  he  to  another,  And  how  much 
owest  thou!  And  he  said,  An  hundred  measures  of  wheat.  And  he 
said  unto  him,  Take  thy  bill,  and  write  fourscore.  And  the  lord  com 
mended  the  unjust  steward,  because  he  had  done  wisely :  for  the  children 
of  this  world  are  in  their  generation  wiser  than  the  children  of  light.  And 
I  say  unto  you,  Make  to  yourselves  friends  of  the  mammon  of  unrighteous-

ness  ;  that,  when  ye  fail,  they  may  receive  you  into  everlasting  habitations. 
He  that  is  faithful  in  that  which  is  least  is  faithful  also-  in  much :  and  he 
that  is  unjust  in  the  least  is  unjust  also  in  much.  If  therefore  ye  have  not 
been  faithful  in  the  unrighteous  mammon,  who  will  commit  to  your  trust 
the  true  riches  1  And  if  ye  have  not  been  faithful  in  that  which  is  another 
man's,  who  shall  give  you  that  which  is  your  own 'f  No  servant  can  serve 
two  masters :  for  either  he  will  hate  the  one,  and  love  the  other ;  or  else  he 
will  hold  to  the  one,  and  despise  the  other.  Ye  cannot  serve  God  and 
mammon." 

And  the  Pharisees  also,  who  were  covetous,  heard  all  these  things :  and 
they  derided  him.     And  lie  said  unto  them,  "  Ye  are  they  which

lustily  yourselves  before  men ;   but  God  knoweth  your  hearts : 

j         j  j  j 

for  that  which  is  highly  esteemed  among  men  is  abomination  in  the  sight 
of  God.  The  law  and  the  prophets  were  until  John  :  since  that  time  the 
kingdom  of  God  is  preached,  and  every  man  presseth  into  it.  And  it  is 
easier  for  heaven  and  earth  to  pass,  than  one  tittle  of  the  law  to  fail.

from  her  husband  committeth  adultery. 

"There  was   a  certain  rich  man,   which  was  clothed  in  purple  and  fine 
.  linen,   and   fared    sumptuously    every   day :    and   there   Avas  a 

The  rich  man  and  J  J  J 

certain  beggar  named  Lazarus,  which  was  laid  at  his  gate, 
full  of  sores,  and  desiring  to  be  fed  with  the  crumbs  which  fell  from 
the  rich  man's  table :  moreover  the  dogs  came  and  licked  his  sores.  And 
it  came  to  pass,  that  the  beggar  died,  and  was  carried  by  the  angels 
into  Abraham's  bosom :  the  rich  man  also  died,  and  was  buried  ;  and  in 
hell  he  lift  up  his  eyes,  being  in  torments,  and  seeth  Abraham  afar  off, 
and  Lazarus  in  his  bosom.  And  he  cried  and  said,  Father  Abraham, 
have  mercy  on  me,  and  send  Lazarus,  that  he  may  dip  the  tip  of  his 
finger  in  water,  and  cool  my  tongue ;  for  I  am  tormented  in  this  flame. 
But  Abraham  said,  Son,  remember  that  thou  in  thy  lifetime  receivedst  thy 
good  things,  and  likewise  Lazarus  evil  things :  but  now  he  is  comforted, 
and  thou  art  tormented.  And  beside  all  this,  between  us  and  you  there 
is  a  great  gulf  fixed :  so  that  they  which  would  pass  from  hence  to  you 
cannot;  neither  can  they  pass  to  us,  that  would  come  from  thence.  Then 
lie  said,  I  pray  thee  therefore,  father,  that  thou  wouldest  send  him  to  my 
father's  house :  for  I  have  five  brethren ;  that  he  may  testify  unto  them, 
lest  they  also  come  into  this  place  of  torment.  Abraham  saith  unto  him, 
They  have  Moses  and  the  prophets ;  let  them  hear  them.  And  he  said, 
Nay,  father  Abraham :  but  if  one  went  unto  them  from  the  dead,  they  will 
repent.  And  he  said  unto  him,  If  they  hear  not  Moses  and  the  prophets, 
neither  will  they  be  persuaded,  though  one  rose  from  the  dead."

OF   OFFENSES. 


Of  offenses. 


Of  faith. 


Then  said  lie  unto  the  disciples,  "  It  is  impossible  but  that  offenses  will 
come :  but  woe  unto  him  through  whom  they  come !  it  were 
better  for  him  that  a  millstone  were  hanged  about  his  neck,  and 
he  cast  into  the  sea,  than  that  he  should  offend  one  of  these  little  ones. 
Take  heed  to  yourselves :  if  thy  brother  trespass  against  thee,  rebuke  him ; 
and  if  he  repent,  forgive  him.  And  if  he  trespass  against  thee  seven  times 
in  a  day,  and  seven  times  in  a  day  turn  again  to  thee,  saying,  I  repent ; 
thou  shalt  forgive  him." 

And  the  apostles  said  unto  the  Lord,  "  Increase  our  faith."  And  the 
Lord  said,  "  If  ye  had  faith  as  a  grain  of  mustard-seed,  ye 
might  say  unto  this  sycamine-tree,  Be  thou  plucked  up  by 
the  root,  and  be  thou  planted  in  the  sea;  and  it  should  obey  you.  But 
which  of  you,  having  a  servant  plowing  or  feeding  cattle,  will  say  unto 
him  by  and  by,  when  he  is  come  from  the  field,  Go  and  sit  down  to

eaten  and  drunken ;  and  afterward  thou  shalt  eat  and  drink  ?  doth  he  thank 
that  servant  because  he  did  the  things  that  were  commanded  him  I  I  trow 
not.  So  likewise  ye,  when  ye  shall  have  done  all  those  things  which  are 
commanded  you,  say,  We  are  unprofitable  servants :  we  have  done  that 
which  was  our  duty  to  do."

a  certain  man  was  sick,   named    Lazarus,   of  Bethany, 
town    of  Mary   and   her   sister   Martha.      (It   was   that 
Mary  which   anointed   the  Lord   with  ointment,  and  wiped 
WN-    his  feet  with  her  hair,  whoso  In-other  Laxarns   was  sick.)

When  Jesus  heard  that,  he  said,  "This  sickness  is  not  unto  death,  hut 
for  the  glory  of  God,  that  the  Son  of  God  might  be  glorified  thereby." 

Now  Jesus  loved  Martha,  and  her  sister,  and  Lazarus.  When  he  had 
heard  therefore  that  he  was  sick,  he  abode  two  days  still  in  the  same  place, 
where  he  was.  Then  after  that  saith  he  to  his  disciples,  "  Let  us  go  into 
Jiuhva  again."  His  disciples  sav  unto  him,  "  Master,  the  Jews  of  late 
sought  to  stone  thee ;  and  gocst  thou  thither  again?"  .Jesus  answered, 
"Are  there  not  twelve  hours  in  the  day?  If  any  man  walk  in  the  day 
he  stumbleth  not,  because  he  sceth  the  light  of  this  world.  Hut  if  a  man 
walk  in  the  night,  he  stumbleth,  because  there  is  no  light  in  him."  These 
things  said  he:  and  after  that  he  saith  unto  them,  "Our  friend  Laxarns 
sleepeth  ;  but  I  go,  that  1  may  awake  him  out  of  sleep."  Then  said  his 
disciples,  "Lord,  if  he  sleep,  lie  shall  do  well."  Uowbeit  Jesus  spake  of 
his  death:  but  they  thought  that  he  had  spoken  of  taking  of  rest,  in  sleep. 
Then  said  Jesus  unto  them  plainly,  "  La/arus  is  dead.  And  I  am  glad  for 
your  sakes  that  I  was  not  then1,  to  the  intent  ye  may  believe;  neverthe 
less  let  us  go  unto  him."  Then  said  Thomas,  which  is  called  Didymus, 
unto  his  fellow-disciples,  "Let  us  also  go,  that  we  may  die  with  him." 

Then  when  Jesus  came,  he  found  that  he  had  lain  in  the  grave  four  days 
already.     Now  Bethany  was  nigh  unto  Jerusalem,  about  fifteen  Thecomingof 
furlongs  off:   and  many  of  the  Jews  came  to  Martha  and  Mary,   Je8U 
to  comfort  them  concerning  their  brother.     Then  Martha,  as  soon  as  she 
heard  that  Jesus  was  coming,  went  and  met  him:  but  Marv  sat  still  in  the 

v 

house.     Then  said  Martha  unto  Jesus,  "  Lord,  if  thou  hadst  been  here,  my 
brother  had  not  died.     But  I   know,  that  even  now,  whatsoever  thou  wilt

ask  of  God,  God  will  give  it  tlice."  Jesus  saitli  unto  her,  "Thy  brother 
shall  rise  again."  Martha  saitli  unto  him,  "  I  know  that  he  shall  rise  again 
in  the  resurrection  at  the  last  day."  Jesus  said  unto  her,  "  I  am  the  resur 
rection,  and  the  life :  he  that  believeth  in  me,  though  he  were  dead,  yet 
shall  he  live :  and  whosoever  liveth  and  believeth  in  me  shall  never  die. 
Believest  thou  this?"  She  saitli  unto  him,  "Yea,  Lord:  I  believe  that  thou 
art  the  Christ,  the  Son  of  God,  which  should  come  into  the  world."  And 
when  she  had  so  said,  she  went  her  way,  and  called  Mary  her  sister 
secretly,  saying,  "  The  Master  is  come,  and  calleth  for  thee."  As  soon  as 
she  heard  that,  she  arose  quickly,  and  came  unto  him.  Now  Jesus  was  not 
yet  come  into  the  town,  but  was  in  that  place  where  Martha  met  him.  The 
Jews  then  which  were  with  her  in  the  house,  and  comforted  her,  when  they 
saw  Mary,  that  she  rose  up  hastily  and  went  out,  followed  her,  saying, 
11  She  goeth  unto  the  grave  to  weep  there."  Then  when  Mary  was  come 
where  Jesus  was,  and  saw  him,  she  fell  down  at  his  feet,  saying  unto  him, 
"Lord,  if  thou  hadsf  been  here,  my  brother  had  not  died."  When  Jesus 
therefore  saw  her  weeping,  and  the  Jews  also  weeping  which  came  with 
her,  he  groaned  in  the  spirit,  and  was  troubled,  and  said,  "  Where  have  ye 
laid  him?"  They  said  unto  him,  "Lord,  come  and  see."  Jesus  wept. 
Then  said  the  Jews,  "Behold  how  he  loved  him!"  And  some  of  them 
said,  "Could  not  this  man,  which  opened  the  eyes  of  the  blind,  have  caused 
that  even  this  man  should  not  have  died1?"  Jesus  therefore  again  groaning 
in  himself  cometh  to  the  grave.  It  was  a  cave,  and  a  stone  lay  upon  it. 
Jesus  said,  "  Take  ye  aw.ay  the  stone."  Martha,  the  sister  of  him  that  was 
The  raising  of  dead,  saitli  unto  him,  "Lord,  by  this  time  he  stinketh  :  for  he 
hath  been  dead  four  days."  Jesus  saitli  unto  her,  "  Said  I  not 
unto  thee,  that,  if  thou  wouldest  believe,  thou  shouldest  see  the  glory  of 
God  ? "  Then  they  took  away  the  stone  from  the  place  where  the  dead  was 
laid.  And  Jesus  lifted  up  his  eyes  and  said,  "  Father,  I  thank  thee  that 
thou  hast  heard  me.  And  I  knew  that  thou  nearest  me  always :  but 
because  of  the  people  which  stand  by  I  said  it,  that  they  may  believe  that 
thou  hast  sent  me."  And  when  he  thus  had  spoken,  he  cried  with  a  loud 
voice,  "Lazarus,  come  forth."  And  he  that  was  dead  came  forth,  bound 
hand  and  foot  with  graveclothes :  and  his  face  was  bound  about  with  a 
napkin.  Jesus  saitli  unto  them,  "  Loose  him,  and  let  him  go." 

Then  many  of  the  Jews  which  came  to  Mary,  and  had  seen  the  things 
which  Jesus  did,  believed  on  him.  But  some  of  them  went  their  ways  to 
the  Pharisees,  and  told  them  what  things  Jesus  had  done.  Then  gathered 
the  chief  priests  and  the  Pharisees  a  council,  and  said,  "What  do  we1?  for 

The  anger  of  the    *n*s  man  doeth  many  miracles.     If  we  let  him  thus  alone,  all

being1  the  high-priest  that  same  year,  said  unto  them,  "  Ye  know  nothing  at 
all,  nor  consider  that  it  is  expedient  for  us,  that  one  man  should  die  for  the 
people,  and  that  the  whole  nation  perish  not."  And  this  spake  he  not  of 
himself:  but  being-  high-priest  that  year,  he  prophesied  that  Jesus  should 
die  for  that  nation  ;  and  not  for  that  nation  only,  but  that  also  he  should 
gather  together  in  one  the  children  of  God  that  were  scattered  abroad. 
Then  from  that  day  forth  they  took  counsel  together  for  to  put  him  to 
death.  Jesus  therefore  walked  no  more  openly  among  the  Jews ;  but  went 
thence  unto  a  country  near  to  the  wilderness,  into  a  city  called  Ephraim, 
and  there  continued  with  his  disciples.

as  lie  entered  into  a  certain  village,  there  met  him  ten 
men  that  were  lepers,  which  stood  afar  off:  and  they  lifted 
up  their  voices,  and  said,  "Jesus,  Master,  have  mercy  on 
us."      And  when  he  saw  them,  lie  said  unto  them,  "  Go 
;,     show  yourselves  unto  the  priests."     And  it  came  to  pass, 
that,  as  they  went,  they  were  cleansed.     And  one  of  them, 
when  he  saw  that  he  was  healed,  turned  back,  and  with  a  loud  voice  glori 
fied  God,  and  fell  down  on  his  face  at  his  feet,  giving  him  thanks  :  and  he 
was  a  Samaritan.      And  Jesus  answering  said,  "  Were  there  not

returned  to  give  glory  to  God,  save  this  stranger."  And  he  said  unto  him, 
"Arise,  go  thy  way:  thy  faith  hath  made  thee  whole." 

And  when  he  was  demanded  of  the  Pharisees,  when  the  kingdom  of  God 
should  come,  he  answered  them  and  said,  "  The  kingdom  of  God  cometh 
not  with  observation  :  neither  shall  they  say,  Lo  here  !  or,  Lo  there  !  for, 
behold,  the  kingdom  of  God  is  within  you." 

And  he  said  unto  the  disciples,   "  The  days  will  come,  when  ye  shall 

desire  to  see  one  of  the  days  of  the  Son  of  man,  and  ye  shall  not  see  it. 

And  they  shall  say  to  vou.  See  here  :   or,  See  there  :   go  not

after  them,  nor  follow  them.  For  as  the  lightning,  that  light- 
eneth  out  of  the  one  part  under  heaven,  shineth  unto  the  other  part  under 
heaven  ;  so  shall  also  the  Son  of  man  be  in  his  day.  But  first  must  he 
suffer  many  things,  and  be  rejected  of  the  generation.  And  as  it  was  in 
the  days  of  Noah,  so  shall  it  be  also  in  the  days  of  the  Son  of  man.  They 
did  eat,  they  drank,  they  married  wives,  they  were  given  in  marriage, 
until  the  day  that  Noah  entered  into  the  ark,  and  the  flood  came,  and 
destroyed  them  all.  Likewise  also  as  it  was  in  the  days  of  Lot  ;  they 
did  eat,  they  drank,  they  bought,  they  sold,  they  planted,  they  builded; 
but  the  same  day  that  Lot  went  out  of  Sodom  it  rained  fire  and  brim 
stone  from  heaven,  and  destroyed  them  all.  Even  thus  shall  it  be  in  the

day  when  the  Son  of  man  is  revealed.      In  that  day,  he  which  shall  be 

upon   the   house-top,  and   his  stuff  in  the  house,  let  him  not  come  down 

to  take  it  away :  and  he 

that  is  in   the  field,   let 

him  likewise  not  return 

back.     Remember  Lot's 

wife.      Whosoever  shall 

seek  to  save  his  life  shall 

lose  it ;   and  whosoever 

shall   lose  his   life   shall 

preserve  it.     I  tell  you, 

in  that  night  there  shall 

be  two  men  in  one  bed  ; 

the  one  shall  be  taken, 

and   the   other   shall    be 

left.     Two  women  shall 

be    grinding     together ; 

the  one  shall  be  taken, 

and  the  other  left.    Two 

men  shall  be  in  the  field  ; 

the  one  shall  be  taken, 

and  the   other  left."      And  they  answered   and  said   unto  him,    "  Where, 

Lord!"    And  he  said  nnto  them,  "Wheresoever  the  body  is,  thither  will 

the    eagles    be    gathered    to 
gether." 

And  he  spake  a  parable 
nnto  them  to  this  end,  that 
men  ought  always  to  pray, 
and  not  to  faint  ;  saying, 
"  There  was  in  the  city  a 
judge,  which  feared  not  God, 
neither  regarded  man :  and 
there  was  a  widow  in  that 
city ;  and  she  came  nnto  him, 
saying,  Avenge  me  of  mine 
adversary.  And 
he  would  not  t«  r 
a  while :  but  afterward  he 
said  within  himself,  Though 
I  fear  not  God,  nor  regard 

man;  yet  because  this  widow  troubletli  me,  1  will  avenge  her,  lest  by  her 

continual  coming  she  weary  me."      And  the   Lord  said,   "  Hear  what  the 


The  unjust  judge.

unjust  judge  saitli.  And  shall  not  God  avenge  his  own  elect,  wliicli  cry 
day  and  night  unto  him,  though  he  bear  long  with  them  ?  I  tell  you  that- 
he  will  avenge  them  speedily.  Nevertheless  when  the  Son  of  man  cometh, 
shall  he  find  faith  on  the  earth  ?  " 

And   he   spake   this  parable   unto   certain  which  trusted  in  themselves 

that    they   were    righteous,   and    despised  others :      "  Two   men  went   up 

into   the   temple  to   pray  ;   the  one  a  Pharisee,   and  the  other 

The  Pharisee  and  •> 

the  publican.  a  publican.  The  Pharisee  stood  and  prayed  thus  with  him 
self,  God,  I  thank  thee,  that  I  am  not  as  other  men  are,  extortioners, 
unjust,  adulterers,  or  even  as  this  publican.  I  fast  twice  in  the  week, 
I  give  tithes  of  all  that  1  possess.  And  the  publican,  standing  afar  off, 
would  not  lift  up  so  much  as  his  eyes  unto  heaven,  but  smote  upon  his 
breast,  saying,  God  be  merciful  to  me  a  sinner.  I  tell  you,  this  man 
Avent  down  to  his  house  justified  rather  than  the  other :  for  every  one 
that  exalteth  himself  shall  be  abased ;  and  he  that  humbleth  himself 
shall  be  exalted." 

The  Pharisees  also  came  unto  him,  tempting  him,  and  saying  unto  him, 
"Is  it  lawful  for  a  man  to  put  away  his  wrife  for  every  cause!"  And  he 
answered  and  said  unto  them,  "  Haye  ye  not  read,  that  he  which  made 
them  at  the  beginning  made  them  male  and  female,  and  said,  For  this 
cause  shall  a  man  leave  father  and  mother,  and  shall  cleave  to  his  wife  : 
and  they  twain  shall  be  one  flesh  ?  wherefore  they  are  no  more  twain, 
but  one  flesh.  What  therefore  God  hath  joined  together,  let  not  man 
put  asunder."  They  say  unto  him,  "  Why  did  Moses  then 

Of  marriage  and       i  J  J  J 

command  to  give  a  writing  of  divorcement,  and  to  put  her 
away!"  He  saitli  unto  them,  "Moses,  because  of  the  hardness  of  your 
hearts,  suffered  you  to  put  away  your  wives :  but  from  the  beginning 
it  was  not  so.  And  I  say  unto  you,  Whosoever  shall  put  away  his 
wife,  except  it  be  for  fornication,  and  shall  marry  another,  comniitteth 
adultery :  and  whoso  marrieth  her  which  is  put  away  doth  commit  adul 
tery."  His  disciples  say  unto  him,  "  If  the  case  of  the  man  be  so  with 
his  wife,  it  is  not  good  to  marry."  But  he  said  unto  them,  "  All  men 
cannot  receive  this  saying,  sa.ve  they  to  whom  it  is  given.  For  there 
are  some  eunuchs,  which  were  so  born  from  their  mother's  womb  :  and 
there  are  some  eunuchs,  which  were  made  eunuchs  of  men  :  and  there 
be  eunuchs,  which  have  made  themselves  eunuchs  for  the  kingdom  of 
heaven's  sake.  He  that  is  able  to  receive  it,  let  him  receive  it." 

Then  were  there  brought  unto  him  little  children,  that  he  should  put  his 

hands  on  them,  and  pray  :  and  the  disciples  rebuked  them.    But  Jesus  said, 

Jesus biesseth       "  Suffer  little  children,  and  forbid  them  not,  to  come  unto  me: 

for  of  such  is  the  kingdom  of  heaven.     Verily  I  say  unto  you, 

Whosoever  shall  not  receive  the  kingdom  of  God  as  a  little  child,  he  shall

not  enter  therein."      And  he  took  them  up  in  his  arms,  put  his  hands  upon 
them,   and  blessed  them. 

And  when  he  was  gone  forth  into  the  way,  there  came  a  certain  ruler 
running,  and  kneeled  to  him,  and  asked  him,  "  Good  Master, 
what  shall  I  do  that  I  may  inherit  eternal  life  ?  "  And  Jesus 
said  unto  him,  "Why  callest  thou  me  good?  there  is  none  good  but  one, 
that  is,  God.  But  if  thou  wilt  enter  into  life,  keep  the  commandments." 
He  saith  unto  him,  "Which?"  Jesus  said,  "Thou  shalt  do  no  murder, 
Thou  shalt  not  commit  adultery,  Thou  shalt  not  steal,  Thou  shalt  not  bear 
false  witness,  Honor  thy  father  and  thy  mother :  and,  Thou  shalt  love  thy 
neighbor  as  thyself."  The  young  man  saith  unto  him,  "All  these  things 
have  I  kept  from  my  youth  up  :  what  lack  I  yet  ?  "  Then  Jesus  beholding 
him  loved  him,  and  said  unto  him,  "One  thing  thou  lackest :  go  thy  way, 
sell  whatsoever  thou  hast,  and  give  to  the  poor,  and  thou  shalt  have  treasure 
in  heaven :  and  come,  take  up  the  cross,  and  follow  me."  And  he  was  sad 
at  that  saying,  and  went  away  grieved  :  for  he  had  great  possessions. 

And  when  Jesus  saw  that  he  was  very  sorrowful,  he  saith  unto  his  dis 
ciples,  "  How  hardly  shall  they  that  have  riches  enter  into  the 
kingdom  of  God ! "  And  the  disciples  were  astonished  at  his 
words.  But  Jesus  answereth  again,  and  saith  unto  them,  "  Children,  how 
hard  is  it  for  them  that 
trust  in  riches  to  enter 
into  the  kingdom  of  God  ! 
It  is  easier  for  a  camel  to 
go  through  the  eye  of  a 
needle,  than  for  a  rich 
man  to  enter  into  the 
kingdom  of  God."  And 
they  were  astonished  out 
of  measure,  saying  among 
themselves,  "  Who  then 
can  be  saved  ?  "  And 
Jesus  looking  upon  them 
saith,  "  With  men  it  is 
impossible,  but  not  with 
God :  for  with  God  all 
things  are  possible."  Then 
answered  Peter  and  said  unto  him,  "  Behold,  we  have  forsaken  all,  and 
followed  thee  ;  what  shall  we  have  therefore  ?  "  And  Jesus  said  unto  them,

of  Israel.  There  is  no  man  that  hath  left  house,  or  brethren,  or  sisters,  or 
father,  or  mother,  or  wife,  or  children,  or  lands,  for  my  sake,  and  the 
gospel's,  but  he  shall  receive  an  hundred-fold  now  in  this  time,  houses,  and 
brethren,  and  sisters,  and  mothers,  and  children,  and  lands,  with  persecu 
tions  ;  and  in  the  world  to  come  eternal  life.  But  many  that  are  first  shall 
be  last ;  and  the  last  first.  For  the  kingdom  of  heaven  is  like  unto  a  man 
that  is  an  householder,  which  went  out  early  in  the  morning  to 
hire  laborers  into  his  vineyard.  And  when  he  had  agreed  with 
the  laborers  for  a  penny  a  day,  he  sent  them  into  his  vineyard.  And  he 
went  out  about  the  third  hour,  and  saw  others  standing  idle  in  the  market 
place,  and  said  unto  them,  Go  ye  also  into  the  vineyard,  and  whatsoever 
is  right  I  will  give  you.  And  they  went  their  way.  Again  he  went  out 
about  the  sixth  and  ninth  hour,  and  did  likeAvise.  And  about  the  eleventh 
hour  he  went  out,  and  found  others  standing  idle,  and  saith  unto  them, 
Why  stand  ye  here  all  the  day  idle  ?  They  say  unto  him,  Because  no 
man  hath  hired  us.  He  saith  unto  them,  Go  ye  also  into  the  vineyard  ; 
and  whatsoever  is  right,  that  shall  ye  receive.  So  when  even  was  come, 
the  lord  of  the  vineyard  saith  unto  his  steward, 
Call  the  laborers,  and  give  them  their  hire, 
beginning  from  the  last  unto  the  first.  And 
when  they  came  that  were  hired  about  the 
eleventh  hour,  they  received  every  man  a 
penny.  But  when  the  first  came,  they  sup 
posed  that  they  should  have  received  more ; 
and  they  likewise  received  every  man  a  penny.  And  when  they  had 
received  it,  they  murmured  against  the  goodman  of  the  house,  saying, 
These  last  have  wrought  but  one  hour,  and  thou  hast  made  them  equal 
unto  us,  which  have  borne  the  burden  and  heat  of  the  day.  But  he 
answered  one  of  them,  and  said,  Friend,  I  do  thee  no  wrong:  didst 
not  thou  agree  with  me  for  a  penny  ?  Take  that  thine  is,  and  go  thy 
way :  I  will  give  unto  this  last,  even  as  unto  thee.  Is  it  not  lawful  for 
me  to  do  what  I  will  with  mine  own  ?  Is  thine  eye  evil,  because  I  am 
good !  So  the  last  shall  be  first,  and  the  first  last :  for  many  be  called, 
but  few  chosen."

JOURNEYING   TOWAKI.)   JERUSALEM. 

/XD  they  were  in  the  way  going  up  to  Jerusalem;  and 
Jesus  went  before  them  :  ami  they  were  amazed  ;  and  as 
they  followed,  they  were  afraid.  And  he  took  again  the 
twelve,  and  began  to  tell  them  what  things  should  happen 
unto  him,  saying,  "Behold,  we  go  up  to  Jerusalem,  and 
all  things  that  are  written  by  the  prophets  concerning  the 
Son  of  man  shall  be  accomplished.  For  he  shall  be  delivered  , 

Christ  foretelleth 

unto  the  chief  priests  and  unto  the  scribes,  and  they  shall  con-  hisdeath- 
demn  him  to  death,  and  shall  deliver  him  to  the  Gentiles  to  mock,  and  to 
x'.im-Mv,  and  to  crucify  him:  and  the  third  day  he  shall  rise  again."     And 
they  understood  none  of  these  things:  and  this  saying  was  hid  from  them, 
neither  knew  they  the  things  which  were  spoken. 

Then  came  to  him  the  mother  of  Zebedee's  children  with  her  sons,  wor 
shiping  him,  and  desiring  a  certain  thing  of  him.  And  he  said  unto  her, 
"  What  wilt  thou?"  She  saith  unto  him,  "Grant  that  these  my  xhemotherof 

Zebedee's  chil- 

two  sons  may  sit,  the  one  on  thy  right  hand,  and  the  other  on  J™^^™^. 
the  h-t't,  in  thy  kingdom."  But  Jesus  answered  and  said,  "Ye  quet 
know  not  what  ye  ask.  Are  ye  able  to  drink  of  the  cup  that  I  shall  drink 
»»f,  and  to  be  baptized  with  the  baptism  that  1  am  baptized  with  ?  "  They  say 
unto  him,  "We  are  able."  And  he  saith  unto  them,  "Ye  shall  drink  indeed 
of  my  cup,  and  be  baptized  with  the  baptism  that  1  am  baptized  with:  but 
t"  >it  on  my  right  hand,  and  on  my  left,  is  not  mine  to  give,  but  it  shall  be 
given  to  them  for  whom  it  is  prepared  of  my  Father."  And  when  the  ten 
heard  it,  they  were  moved  with  indignation  against  the  two  brethren,  lint 
Jesus  called  them  unto  him,  and  said,  "Ye  know  that  the  princes  of  the 
<•  entiles  exercise  dominion  over  them,  and  they  that  are  great  exercise 
authority  upon  them.  But  it  shall  not  be  so  among  you  :  but  whosoever 
will  be  great  among  you,  let  him  be  your  minister;  and  whosoever  will  be 
thief  among  you,  let  him  be  your  servant:  even  as  the  Son  of  man  came 
not  to  be  ministered  unto,  but  to  minister,  and  to  give  his  life  a  ransom  for 
many." 


THE  HEALING    OF  KLIND  11ARTIMEUS.  18? 

And  they  canio  to  Jericho:  and  as  lie  went  out  of  Jericho  with  his  dis 
ciples  and  a  great  number  of  people,  blind  Bartimeus,  the  son  of  TinieiiH, 
sat  by  tin-  highway-side  begging.  And  hearing  the  multitude  pass  by,  ho 
asked  what  it  meant.  And  they  told  him,  that  Jesus  of  Nazareth  passeth 
hv.  And  he  began  to  cry  out,  and  say,  "  Jesus,  thou  son  of  David,  have 
mow  on  me."  And  many  charged  him  that  he  should  hold  his  peace:  but 
IK-  cried  the  more  a  great  deal,  "Thou  son  of  David,  have  mercy  on  me." 
And  Jesus  stood  still,  and  commanded  him  to  be  called.  And  they  call  the 
blind  man,  saying  unto  him,  "  Be  of  good  comfort,  rise;  he  calleth  thee." 
And  he,  casting  away  his  garment,  rose,  and  came  to  Jesus. 

*  The  healinjc  of 

And  Jesus  answered  and  said  unto  him,  "What  wilt  thou  that  blind  »«rt«meu» 
I  should  do  unto  thee  I"  The  blind  man  said  unto  him,  "Lord,  that  I 
might  receive  my  sight."  So  Jesus  had  compassion,  and  said  unto  him, 
"  lleceive  thy  sight:  thy  faith  hath  saved  thee."  And  immediately  he 
received  his  sight,  and  followed  him,  glorifying  God :  and  all  the  people, 
when  they  saw  it,  gave  praise  unto  God. 

And,  behold,  there  was  a  man  named  Zaccheus,  which  was  the  chief 
among  the  publicans,  and  he  was  rich.  And  he  sought  to  see  Jesus  who 
he  was  ;  and  could  not  for  the  press,  because  he  was  little  of  stature.  And 
he  ran  before,  and  climbed  up  into  a  sycamore-tree  to  see  him  :  for  he  was 
to  pass  that  way.  And  when  Jesus  came  to  the  place,  he  looked  up,  and 
saw  him,  and  said  unto  him,  "Zaccheus,  make  haste,  and  come  . 

Zaccheua  the 

down;  for  to-day  I  must  abide  at  thy  house."  And  he  made  pub 
lia>te.  and  came  down,  and  received  him  joyfully.  And  when  they  saw  it, 
they  all  murmured,  saying,  "That  he  was  gone  to  be  guest  with  a  man  that 
is  a  sinner."  And  Zaccheus  stood,  and  said  unto  the  Lord:  "Behold,  Lord, 
the  half  of  my  goods  I  give  to  the  poor;  and  if  I  have  taken  anything  from 
an\  man  hv  false  accusation,  I  restore  him  fourfold."  And  Jesus  said  unto 
him,  "This  day  is  salvation  come  to  this  house,  forsomuch  as  lie  also  is  a 
son  of  Abraham.  For  the  Son  of  mail  is  come  to  seek  and  to  save  that 
which  was  lost." 

And  as  they  heard  these  things,  he  added  and  spake  a  parable,  because 
he  was  nigh  to  Jerusalem,  and  because  they  thought  that  the  kingdom  of 
<iod  should  immediately  appear.     He  said  therefore,  "A  certain  nobleman 
went  into  a  far  country  to  receive  for  himself  a  kingdom,  and  to  return. 
And  he  called  his  ten  servants,  and  delivered  them  ten  pounds,  „,. p^,^ ^ 
and  said  unto  them,  Occupy  till  I  come.     But  his  citizens  hated  * 
him,  and  sent  a  message  after  him,  saying,  We  will  not  have  this  man  to 
ivign  over  us.     And  it  came  to  pass,  that  when  he  was  retained,  having 

received  tbe  kin<'dom,  then  he  commanded  these  servants  to  be  called  unto 

•~ 

him.  to  whom  he  had  given  the  money,  that  he  might  know  how  much  every 
man  had  gained  by  trading.     Then  came  the  first,  saying,  Lord,  thy  pound 


188  THE  JEWS  SEEK  JESUS  AT   THE  FEAST. 

hath  gained  ten  pounds.  And  he  said  unto  him,  Well,  thou  good  servant : 
because  thou  hast  been  faithful  in  a  very  little,  have  thou  authority  over  ten 
cities.  And  the  second  came,  saying,  Lord,  thy  pound  hath  gained  five 
pounds.  And  he  said  likewise  to  him,  Be  thou  also  over  five  cities.  And 
another  came,  saying,  Lord,  behold,  here  is  thy  pound,  which  I  have  kept 
laid  up  in  a  napkin :  for  I  feared  thee,  because  thou  art  an  austere  man : 
thou  takest  up  that  thou  layedst  not  down,  and  reapest  that  thou  didst  not 
sow.  And  he  saith  unto  him,  Out  of  thine  own  mouth  will  I  judge  thee, 
thou  wicked  servant.  Thou  knewest  that  I  was  an  austere  man,  taking  up 
that  I  laid  not  down,  and  reaping  that  I  did  not  sow :  wherefore  then  gavest 
not  thou  my  money  into  the  bank,  that  at  my  coming  I  might  have  re 
quired  mine  own  with  usury  1  And  he  said  unto  them  that  stood  by, 
Take  from  him  the  pound,  and  give  it  to  him  that  hath  ten  pounds.  And 
they  said  unto  him,  Lord,  he  hath  ten  pounds.  (For  I  say  unto  you, 
That  unto  every  one  which  hath  shall  be  given ;  and  from  him  that  hath 
not,  even  that  he  hath  shall  be  taken  away  from  him.)  But  those  mine 
enemies,  which  would  not  that  I  should  reign  over  them,  bring  hither,  and 
slay  them  before  me."  And  when  he  had  thus  spoken,  he  went  before, 
ascending  up  to  Jerusalem. 

And  the  Jews'  passover  was  nigh  at  hand :  and  many  went  out  of  the 
country  up  to  Jerusalem  before  the  passover,  to  purify  themselves.  Then 
The  jews  seek  sought  they  for  Jesus,  and  spake  among  themselves,  as  they 
stood  in  the  temple,  "What  think  ye,  that  he  will  not  come  to 
the  feast  ?  "  Now  both  the  chief  priests  and  the  Pharisees  had  given  a  com 
mandment,  that,  if  any  man  knew  where  he  were,  he  should  show  it,  that 
they  might  take  him. 

Then  Jesus  six  days  before  the  passover  came  to  Bethany,  where  Lazarus 
was  which  had  been  dead,  whom  he  raised  from  the  dead. 

Now  when  Jesus  was  in  Bethany,  in  the  house  of  Simon  the  leper,  there 
they  made  him  a  supper ;  and  Martha  served  :  but  Lazarus  was  one  of 
them  that  sat  at  the  table  with  him.  Then  took  Mary  a  pound  of  ointment 
The  alabaster  box  of  spikenard,  very  costly,  and  anointed  the  feet  of  Jesus,  and 
wiped  his  feet  with  her  hair :  and  the  house  was  filled  with  the 
odor  of  the  ointment.  But  when  his  disciples  saw  it,  they  had  indignation. 
Then  saith  one  of  his  disciples,  Judas  Iscariot,  Simon's  son,  which  should 
betray  him,  "  Why  was  not  this  ointment  sold  for  three  hundred  pence,  and 
given  to  the  poor  ?  "  This  he  said,  not  that  he  cared  for  the  poor ;  but 
because  he  was  a  thief,  and  had  the  bag,  and  bare  what  was  put  therein. 
Then  said  Jesus,  "  Let  her  alone:  against  the  day  of  my  burying  hath  she 
kept  this.  For  the  poor  always  ye  have  with  you ;  but  me  ye  have  not 
always.  She  hath  done  what  she  could :  she  is  come  aforehand  to  anoint 
my  body  to  the  burying-.  Verily  I  say  unto  you,  Wheresoever  this  gospel 


THE   CHIEF  PRIESTS  SEEK   TO  PUT  HIM    TO  DEATH.        181) 

shall  be  preached  throughout  the  whole  world,  tins  also  that  she  hath  done 
shall  be  spoken  of  for  a,  memorial  of  her." 

Much  people  of  the  Jews  therefore  knew  that  he  was  there :  and  they 
came  not  for  Jesus'  sake  only,  but  that  they  might  see  Lazarus  The  chief  Prie«t« 
also,  whom  he  had  raised  from  the  dead.     Hut  the  chief  priests  to  death1'" 
consulted  that  they   mi<»-ht   put   Lazarus  also   to   death  ;    because  that  by 
reason  of  him  many  of  the  Jews  went  away,  and  believed  on  Jesus. 


CHAPTER    XXXTI. 

CHRIST'S   TRIUMPHAL  ENTEY,   AND   THE  EVENTS   WHICH   FOLLOWED. 

,N  the  next  day  much  people  that  were  come  to  the  feast, 
when  they  heard  that  Jesus  was  coming  to  Jerusalem, 
took  branches  of  palm-trees,  and  went  forth  to  meet  him. 
And  it  came  to  pass,  when  he  was  come  nigh  to  Beth- 
pliage  and  Bethany,  at  the  mount  called  the  mount  of 
Olives,  he  sent  two  of  his  disciples,  saying,  "  Go  ye  into 
the  village  over  against  you ;  in  the  which  at  your  entering  ye  shall  find  a 
colt  tied,  whereon  yet  never  man  sat:  loose  him,  and  bring  him  hither. 
And  if  any  man  ask  you,  Why  do  ye  loose  him  1  thus  shall  ye  say  unto 
him,  Because  the  Lord  hath  need  of  him."  And  they  that  were  sent  went 
their  way,  and  found  even  as  he  had  said  unto  them.  And  as  they  were 
loosing  the  colt,  the  owners  thereof  said  unto  them,  "  Why  loose  ye  the 
colt1?  "  And  they  said,  "  The  Lord  hath  need  of  him."  And  they  brought 
him  to  Jesus :  and  they  cast  their  garments  upon  the  colt,  and  they  set 
Jesus  thereon;  as  it  is  written,  "Fear  not,  daughter  of  Sion :  behold,  thy 
King  cometh,  sitting  on  an  ass's  colt."  These  things  understood  not  his 
disciples  at  the  first :  but  when  Jesus  was  glorified,  then  remembered  they 
that  these  things  were  written  of  him,  and  that  they  had  done  these  things 
unto  him.  The  people  therefore  that  was  with  him  when  he  called  Lazarus 
out  of  his  grave,  and  raised  him  from. the  dead,  bare  record.  For  this  cause 
the  people  also  met  him,  for  that  they  heard  that  he  had  done  this  miracle. 
Christ's  triumphal  And  many  spread  their  g-arments  in  the  way:  and  others  cut 

entry  into  Jeru-  «•  i       i  •  i 

down  branches  off  the  trees,  and  strewed  them  in  the  way. 
And  when  he  was  come  nigh,  even  now  at  the  descent  of  the  mount  of 
Olives,  the  whole  multitude  of  the  disciples  began  to  rejoice  and  praise 
God  with  a  loud  voice  for  all  the  mighty  works  that  they  -had  seen ; 
and  cried,  "  Hosanna :  Blessed  is  the  King  of  Israel  that  cometh  in 
the  name  of  the  Lord.  Blessed  be  the  kingdom  of  our  father  David, 
that  cometh  in  the  name  of  the  Lord :  Hosanna  in  the  highest."  And 
some  of  the  Pharisees  from  among  the  multitude  said  unto  him,  "  Mas 
ter,  rebuke  thy  disciples."  And  he  answered  and  said  unto  them,  "  I  tell

you  that,  if  these  should  hold  their  peace,  the  stones  would  immediately 
cry  out." 

And  when  he  was  come  near,  he  beheld  the  city,  and  wept  over  it,  say 
ing,  "  If  thou  hadst  known,  even  thou,  at  least  in  this  thy  day, 
the  things  which  belong  unto  thy  peace  !  but  now  they  are  hid 
from  thine  eyes.  For  the  days  shall  come  upon  thee,  that  thine  enemies 
shall  cast  a  trench  about  thee,  and  compass  thee  round,  and  keep  thee  in  on 
every  side,  and  shall  lay  thee  even  with  the  ground,  and  thy  children 
within  thee ;  and  they  shall  not  leave  in  thee  one  stone  upon  another ; 
because  thou  knewest  not  the  time  of  thy  visitation." 

And  when  he  was  come  into  Jerusalem,  all  the  city  was  moved,  saying, 

"Who  is  this?"     And  the  multitude  said,  "This  is  Jesus  the  prophet  of 

Nazareth  of  Galilee."     And  the  blind  and  the  lame  came  to  him  in  the 

temple :  and  he  healed  them.     And  when  the  chief  priests  and 

The  chief  priests 

are  displeased.  scribes  saw  the  wonderful  things  that  he  did,  and  the  children 
crying  in  the  temple,  and  saying,  "  Hosanna  to  the  son  of  David";  they 
were  sore  displeased,  and  said  unto  him,  "  Hearest  thou  what  these  say?" 
And  Jesus  saith  unto  them,  "Yea;  have  ye  never  read,  Out  of  the  mouth 
of  babes  and  sucklings  thou  hast  perfected  praise  ?  "  And  he  left  them  and 
went  out  of  the  city  to  Bethany  and  lodged  there. 

And  on  the  morrow,  when  they  were  come  from  Bethany,  he  was  hun 
gry  :  and  seeing  a  fig-tree  afar  off  having-  leaves,  he  came,  if 

Ine  ng-tree  is  ~    J 

haply  he  might  find  anything  thereon :  and  when  he  came  to  it, 
lie  found  nothing  but  leaves  ;  for  the  time  of  figs  was  not  yet.  And  Jesus 
answered  and  said  unto  it,  "  No  man  eat  fruit  of  thee  hereafter  forever." 
And  his  disciples  heard  it. 

And  they  come  to  Jerusalem  :  and  Jesus  went  into  the  temple,  and  began 
The  second  to  cast  out  them  that  sold  and  bought  in  the  temple,  and  over- 
tempie.  threw  the  tables  of  the  money-changers,  and  the  seats  of  them 

that  sold  doves ;  and  would  not  suffer  that  any  man  should  carry  any  vessel 
through  the  temple.  And  he  taught,  saying  unto  them,  "Is  it  not  written, 
My  house  shall  be  called  of  all  nations  the  house  of  prayer  ?  but  ye  have 
made  it  a  den  of  thieves."  And  he  taught  daily  in  the  temple.  But  the 
chief  priests  and  the  scribes  arid  the  chief  of  the  people  sought  to  destroy 
him,  and  could  not  find  what  they  might  do  :  for  all  the  people  were 
very  attentive  to  hear  him.  And  when  even  was  come,  he  went  out  of 
the  city. 

And  in  the  morning,  as  they  passed  by,  they  saw  the  fig-tree  dried  up 
The  wither^  from  the  roots.  And  Peter  calling  to  remembrance  saitli  unto 
him,  "  Master,  behold,  the  fig-tree  which  thou  cursedst  is  with 
ered  away."  And  Jesus  answering  saith  unto  them,  "  Have  faith  in  God. 
For  verily  I  say  unto  you,  That  whosoever  shall  say  unto  this  mountain,

CONCERNING  PRAYER  ANU  FORGIVENESS.

he  shall  have  whatsoever  he  saith.  Therefore  I  say  unto  you,  What  things 
soever  ye  desire,  when  ye  pray,  believe  that  ye  receive  them,  and  ye  shall 
have  them.  And  when  ye  stand  praying,  forgive,  if  ye  have  aught  against 
any :  that  your  Father  also  which  is  in  heaven  may  forgive  you  your  tres 
passes.  But  if  ye  do  not  forgive,  neither  will  your  Father  which  is  in 
heaven  forgive  your  trespasses.

CHAPTEE    XXXIII. 

JESUS   ANSWERS   THE   SANHEDRIM,    THE    SADDUCEES,   AND   THE    PHARISEES. 

~ND  they  come  again  to  Jerusalem:  as  he  taught  the  people 
in  the  temple,  and  preached  the  gospel,  there  came  to  him 
the  chief  priests,  and  the  scribes,  and  the  elders,  and  say 
unto  him,  "  By  what  authority  doest  thou  these  things? 
and  who  gave  thee  this  authority  to  do  these  things  ? " 
And  Jesus  answered  and  said  unto  them,  "I  will  also  ask 
of  you  one  question,  and  answer  me,  and  I  will  tell  you  by  what  author 
ity  I  do  these  things.  The  baptism  of  John,  was  it  from  heaven,  or  of 
The  sanhedrim  men?  answer  me."  And  they  reasoned  with  themselves,  saving1, 

questions  his  J  '         J        &7 

authority.  «  jf  we  s]ian  sav>  From  heaven ;  he  will  say,  Why  then  did 

ye  not  believe  him  ?  But  if  we  shall  say,  Of  men ;  they  feared  the  people : 
for  all  men  counted  John,  that  he  was  a  prophet  indeed.  And  they  an 
swered  and  said  unto  Jesus,  "We  cannot  tell."  And  Jesus  answering  saith 
unto  them,  "  Neither  do  I  tell  you  by  what  authority  I  do  these  things." 

And  he  began  to  speak  unto  them  by  parables.  "  A  certain  man  had 
The  parable  of  two  sons;  and  he  came  to  the  first,  and  said,  Son,  go  work 
to-day  in  my  vineyard.  He  answered  and  said,  I  wrill  not: 
but  afterward  he  repented,  and  went.  And  he  came  to  the  second,  and  said 
likewise.  And  he  answered  and  said,  I  go,  sir :  and  went  not.  Whether 
of  them  twain  did  the  will  of  his  father?"  They  say  unto  him,  "The 
first."  Jesus  saith  unto  them,  "Verily  I  say  unto  you,  That  the  publicans 
and  the  harlots  go  into  the  kingdom  of  God  before  you.  For  John  came 
unto  you  in  the  way  of  righteousness,  and  ye  believed  him  not :  but  the 
publicans  and  the  harlots  believed  him :  and  ye,  when  ye  had  seen  it, 
repented  not  afterward,  that  ye  might  believe  him. 

"  Hear  another  parable  :  There  was  a  certain  householder,  which  planted 
a  vineyard,  and  hedged  it  round  about,  and  digged  a  wine-press  in  it,  and 
The  parable  of  the  built  a  tower,  and  let  it  out  to  husbandmen,  and  went  into  a  far 

vineyard  let  out 

to  husbandmen,  country.  And  at  the  season  lie  sent  a  servant  to  the  husband 
men,  that  they  should  give  him  of  the  fruit  of  the  vineyard :  but  the  hus 
bandmen  beat  him,  and  sent  him  away  empty.  And  again  he  sent  another

M-rvant:  and  they  beat  him  also,  and  entreated  him  shamefully,  and  sent 
him  away  empty.     And  again  he  sent  a  third :  and  they  wounded  him  also, 
_  ___  and  cast  him  out.     Having1  yet  therefore  one 

son,  his  well-beloved,  he  sent  him  also  last 
unto  them,  saying,  They  will  reverence  my 
son,  when  they  see  him.  Hut  when  the  hus 
bandmen  saw  him,  they  reasoned  among  them 
selves,  saying,  This  is  the  heir:  come,  let  us 
kill  him,  that  the  inheritance  may  be  ours. 
So  they  cast  him  out  of  the  vineyard,  and 
killed  him.  What  therefore  shall  the  lord  of 
the  vineyard  do  unto  them  I  he  shall  come 
and  destroy  these  husbandmen,  and  shall 
give  the  vineyard  to  others."  And  when  they  heard  it,  they  said,  "(}od 
forbid."  And  he  beheld  them,  and  said,  "  What  is  this  then  that  is  written, 
The  stone  which  the  builders  rejected,  the  same  is  become  the  head  of 
the  corner  ?  this  is  the  Lord's  doing,  and  it  is  marvelous  in  our  eyes  ? 
Therefore  say  I  unto  yon,  The  kingdom  of  God  shall  be  taken  from  you, 
and  given  to  a  nation  bringing  forth  the  fruits  thereof.  And  whosoever 
shall  fall  on  this  stone  shall  be  broken :  but  on  whomsoever  it  shall  fall, 
it  will  grind  him  to  powder."  And  the  chief  priests  and  the  scribes  the 
same  hour  sought  to  lay  hands  on  him  ;  and  they  feared  the  people  :  for 
they  perceived  that  he  had  spoken  this  parable  against  them. 

And  Jesus  answered  and  spake  unto  them  again  by  parables,  and  said, 
"The   kingdom  of  heaven    is   like    unto  a  certain    king,   which   made   a 
marriage  for  his  son,  and  sent  forth  his  servants  to  call  them  T^  marriage  of 
that  were  bidden  to  the  wedding :  and  they  would  not  come.  * 
Again,  he  sent  forth  other  servants,  saying,  Tell  them  which  are  bidden, 
Behold,  I  have  prepared  my  dinner :  my  oxen  and  my  fallings  are  killed, 
and  all  things  are  ready :  come  unto  the  marriage.     But  they  made  light 
of  it,  and  went  their  ways,  one  to  his  farm,  another  to  his  merchandise : 
and  the  remnant  took  his  servants,  and  entreated  them  spitefully,  and  slew 
them.     But  when  the  kinjr  heard  thereof,  he  was  wroth :  and  he  sent  forth 

O 

his  armies,  and  destroyed  those  murderers,  and  burned  up  their  city.  Then 
saith  he  to  his  servants,  The  wedding  is  ready,  but  they  which  were 
bidden  were  not  worthy.  Go  ye  therefore  into  the  highways,  and  as  many 
as  ve  shall  find,  bid  to  the  marriage.  So  those  servants  went  out  into  the 

•/ 

highways,  and  gathered  together  all  as  many  as  they  found,  both  bad  and 
good:  and  the  wedding  was  furnished  with  guests.  And  when  the  king 
came  in  to  see  the  guests,  he  saw  there  a  man  which  had  not  on  a  wedding 
garment:  and  he  saith  unto  him,  Friend,  how  earnest  thou  in  hither  not 
having  a  wedding  garment?  And  he  was  speechless.  Then  said  the  king

to  the  servants,  Bind  him  hand  and  foot,  and  take  him  away,  and  east  him 
into  outer  darkness ;  there  shall  be  weeping  and  gnashing  of  teeth.  For 
many  are  called,  but  few  are  chosen." 

Then  went  the  Pharisees,  and  took  counsel  how  thev  might  entangle  him 

J  O 

in  his  talk.  And  they  sent  out  unto  him  their  disciples  with  the  Herodians, 
that  they  might  take  hold  of  his  words,  that  so  they  might  deliver  him  unto 
the  power  and  authority  of  the  governor.  And  they  asked  him,  saying, 
"  Master,  we  know  that  thou  art  true,  and  teachest  the  way  of  God  in  truth, 
neither  carest  thou  for  any  man  :  for  thou  regardest  not  the  person  of  men. 
Tell  us  therefore,  What  thinkest  thou  ?  Is  it  lawful  to  give  tribute  unto 
Caesar,  or  not*?"  But  Jesus  perceived  their  wickedness,  and  said,  "Why 
.  tempt  ye  me,  ye  hypocrites?  show  me  the  tribute  money." 

A  question  about  J  '     J  J  i  J 

And  they  brought  unto  him  a  penny.  And  he  saith  unto  them, 
"Whose  is  this  image  and  superscription?"  They  say  unto  him,  "Cae 
sar's."  Then  saith  he  unto  them,  "Render  therefore  unto  Caesar  the  things 
which  are  Caesar's ;  and  unto  God  the  things  that  are  God's."  And  they 
could  not  take  hold  of  his  words  before  the  people :  and  they  marveled  at 
his  answer,  and  held  their  peace,  and  left  him,  and  went  their  way. 

The  same  day  came  to  him  the  Sadducees,  which  say  that  there  is  no 
resurrection,  and  asked  him,  saying,  "  Master,  Moses  said,  If  a  man  die, 
having  no  children,  his  brother  shall  marry  his  wife,  and  raise  up  seed 
unto  his  brother.  Now  there  were  with  us  seven  brethren :  and  the  first, 
when  he  had  married  a  wife,  deceased,  and,  having  no  issue,  left  his  wife 
unto  his  brother :  likewise  the  second  also,  and  the  third,  unto  the  seventh. 
And  last  of  all  the  woman  died  also.  Therefore  in  the  resurrection  whose 
wife  shall  she  be  of  the  seven  ?  for  they  all  had  her."  Jesus  answered  and 
said  unto  them,  "  Ye  do  err,  not  knowing  the  scriptures,  nor  the  power  of 
God.  The  children  of  this  world  marry,  and  are  given  in  marriage :  but 

they  which  shall  be  accounted  worthy  to  obtain  that  world,  and 

Concerning  mar-  •/  J 

nage  m  heaven.  fae  resiUTectjon  from  the  dead,  neither  marry,  nor  are  given  in 
marriage:  neither  can  they  die  any  more:  for  they  are  equal  unto  the 
angels  ;  and  are  the  children  of  God,  being  the  children  of  the  resurrection. 
And  as  touching  the  dead,  that  they  rise :  have  ye  not  read  in  the  book  of 
Moses,  how  in  the  bush  God  spake  unto  him,  saying,  I  am  the  God  of 
Abraham,  and  the  God  of  Isaac,  and  the  God  of  Jacob!  He  is  not  the 
God  of  the  dead,  but  the  God  of  the  living :  ye  therefore  do  greatly  err." 
And  when  the  multitude  heard  this,  they  were  astonished  at  his  doctrine. 
But  when  the  Pharisees  had  heard  that  he  had  put  the  Sadducees  to 
silence,  thev  were  gathered  together.  Then  one  of  them,  which

rommandmentrof  was  a  lawyer,  asked  him  a  question,  tempting  him,  and  saying, 

"Master,  which  is  the  first  commandment  of  all?"     And  Jesus 

answered  him,    "The  first  of  all  the  commandments  is,   Hear,  0  Israel; 


200 


HE  ASKETH  THE  PHARISEES   CONCERNING    CHRIST. 


The  Lord  our  God  is  one  Lord :  and  thou  slialt  love  tlie  Lord  thy  God 
with  all  thy  heart,  and  with  all  thy  soul,  and  with  all  thy  mind,  and  with 
all  thy  strength :  this  is  the  first  commandment.  And  the  second  is  like, 
namely  this,  Thou  shalt  love  thy  neighbor  as  thyself.  On  these  two  com 
mandments  hang  all  the  law  and  the  prophets."  And  the  scribe  said  unto 
him,  "Well,  Master,  thou  hast  said  the  truth:  for  there  is  one  God;  and 
there  is  none  other  but  he :  and  to  love  him  with  all  the  heart,  and  with  all 
the  understanding,  and  with  all  the  soul,  and  with  all  the  strength,  and  to 
love  his  neighbor  as  himself,  is  more  than  all  whole  burnt-offerings  and 
sacrifices."  And  when  Jesus  saw  that  he  answered  discreetly,  he  said  unto 
him,  "  Thou  art  not  far  from  the  kingdom  of  God." 

While  the  Pharisees  were  gathered  together,  Jesus  asked  them,  saying, 
He asketh the       "  What  think  ye  of  Christ?  whose  son  is  he?"     They  say  unto 

Pharisees  con-  ,  TT  ,   ,  ,  .    TT.  , 

ceming Christ,  him,  "The  son  of  David.  He  saith  unto  them,  "How  then 
doth  David  in  spirit  call  him  Lord,  saying,  The  LOKD  said  unto  my  Lord, 
Sit  thou  on  my  right  hand,  till  I  make  thine  enemies  thy  footstool?  If 
David  then  call  him  Lord,  how  is  he  his  son  ?  "  And  no  man  was  able  to 
answer  him  a  word,  neither  durst  any  man  from  that  day  forth  ask  him 
any  more  questions.  And  the  common  people  heard  him  gladly.

spake  Jesus  to  the  multitude,  and  to  his  disciples, 
saying,  "The  scribes  and  the  Pharisees  sit  in  Moses' 
seat:  all  therefore  whatsoever  they  bid  you  observe,  that 
observe  and  do  ;  but  do  not  ye  after  their  works  :  for 
they  say,  and  do  not.  For  they  bind  heavy  burdens 
and  grievous  to  be  borne,  and  lay  them  on  men's  shoulders  ;  but  they 
themselves  will  not  move  them  with  one  of  their  fingers.  But  all  their 
works  they  do  for  to  be  seen  of  men  :  they  make  broad  their  phylac 
teries,  and  enlarge  the  borders  of  their  gar 
ments,  and  love  the  uppermost  rooms  at 
feasts,  and  the  chief  seats  in  the  synagogues, 
and  greetings  in  the  markets,  and  to  be  called 
of  men,  Rabbi,  Rabbi.  But  be  not  ye  called 
Rabbi  :  for  one  is  your  Master,  even  Christ  ;  and  all  ye  are  brethren.  And 
call  no  man  your  father  upon  the  earth  :  for  one  is  your  Father,  which  is 
in  heaven.  Neither  be  ye  called  masters  :  for  one  is  your  Master,  even 

Christ.  But  he  that  is  greatest  among  you 
shall  be  your  servant.  And  whosoever  shall 
exalt  himself  shall  be  abased;  and  he  that 
shall  humble  himself  shall  be  exalted.  But 
woe  unto  you,  scribes  and  Pharisees,  hypo 
crites  !  for  ye  shut  up  the  kingdom  of  heaven 
against  men  :  for  ye  neither  go  in  yourselves, 
neither  suffer  ye  them  that  are  entering  to  go 
in.  Woe  unto  you,  scribes  and  Pharisees, 
hypocrites  !  for  ye  devour  widows'  houses,  and 
for  a  pretense  make  long  prayer:  therefore  ye  shall  receive  the  greater 
damnation.  Woe  unto  you,  scribes  and  Pharisees,  hypocrites  !  for  ye 
compass  sea  and  land  to  make  one  proselyte,  and  when  he  is  made,  ye 
make  him  twofold  more  the  child  of  hell  than  yourselves.  Woe  unto

you,  ye  blind  guides,  which  say,  Whosoever  shall  swear  by  the  temple, 
it  is  nothing ;  but  whosoever  shall  swear  by  the  gold  of  the  temple,  he  is 
a  debtor!  Ye  fools  and  blind:  for  whether  is  greater,  the  gold,  or  the 
temple  that  sanetineth  the  goldf  And,  Whosoever  shall  swear  by  the 
altar,  it  is  nothing;  but  whosoever  sweareth  by  the  gift  that  is  upon  it,  la- 
is  guilty.  Ye  fools  and  blind  :  for  whether  is  greater,  the  gift,  or  the  altar 
that  sanctifieth  the  gift  ?  whoso  therefore  shall  swear  by  the  altar,  sweareth 
by  it,  and  by  all  things  thereon.  And  whoso  shall  swear  by  the  temple, 
sweareth  by  it,  and  by  him  that  dwelleth  therein.  And  he  that  shall  swear 
by  heaven,  sweareth  by  the  throne  of  God,  and  bv  him  that  sitteth  thereon. 
Woe  unto  you,  scribes  and  Pharisees,  hypocrites !  for  ye  pay  tithe  of  mint 
and  anise  and  cummin,  and  have  omitted  the  weightier  matters  of  the  law, 
judgment,  mercy,  and  faith :  these  ought  ye  to  have  done,  and  not  to  leave 
the  other  undone.  Ye  blind  guides,  which  strain  at  a  gnat,  and  swallow  a 
camel.  Woe  unto  you,  scribes  and  Pharisees,  hypocrites  !  for  ye  make  clean 
the  outside  of  the  cup  and  of  the  platter,  but  within  they  are  full  of  extor 
tion  and  excess.  Thou  blind  Pharisee,  cleanse  first  that  which  is  within  the 
cup  and  platter,  that  the  outside  of  them  may  be  clean  also.  Woe  unto  you, 
scribes  and  Pharisees,  hypocrites!  for  ye  are  like  unto  whited  sepulchers, 
which  indeed  appear  beautiful  outward,  but  are  within  full  of  dead  men's 
bones,  and  of  all  uncleanness.  Even  so  ye  also  outwardly  appear  righteous 
unto  men,  but  within  ye  are  full  of  hypocrisy  and  iniquity.  Woe  unto  you, 
scribes  and  Pharisees,  hypocrites  !  because  ye  build  the  tombs  of  the  proph 
ets,  and  garnish  the  sepulchers  of  the  righteous,  and  say,  If  we  had  been  in 
the  days  of  our  fathers,  we  would  not  have  been  partakers  with  them  in  the 
blood  of  the  prophets.  Wherefore  ye  be  witnesses  unto  yourselves,  that 
ye  are  the  children  of  them  which  killed  the  prophets.  Fill  ye  up  then  the 
measure  of  your  fathers.  Ye  serpents,  ye  generation  of  vipers,  how  can 
ye  escape  the  damnation  of  hell  ?  Wherefore,  behold,  I  send  unto  you 
prophets,  and  wise  men,  and  scribes:  and  some  of  them  ye  shall  kill 
and  crucify;  and  some  of  them  shall  ye  scourge  in  your  synagogues, 
and  persecute  them  from  city  to  city:  that  upon  you  may  come  all  the 
righteous  blood  shed  upon  the  earth,  from  the  blood  of  righteous  Abel 
unto  the  blood  of  Zacharias,  son  of  Barachias,  whom  ye  slew  between 
the  temple  and  the  altar.  Verily  I  say  unto  you,  All  these  things  shall 
come  upon  this  generation.  ()  .Jerusalem,  Jerusalem,  thou  that  Lamentation  over 

1  the  fat«  of  Jeru- 

killest  the  prophets,  and  stonest  them  which  are  sent  unto  «»•». 
thee,  how  often  would  I  have  gathered  thy  children  together,  even  as  a 
hen  gathereth  her  chickens  under  her  wings,  and  ye  would  not !  Behold, 
your  house  is  left  unto  you  desolate.  For  I  say  unto  you,  Ye  shall  not 
see  me  henceforth,  till  ye  shall  say,  Blessed  is  he  that  cometh  in  the 
name  of  the  Lord." 


204  CERTAIN  GREEKS  SEEK  TO   SEE  JESUS. 

And  Jesus  sat  over  against  the  treasury,  and  beheld  how  the  people 
cast  money  into  the  treasury :  and  many  that 
were  rich  cast  in  much.  And  there  came  a  cer 
tain  poor  widow,  and  she  threw  in  two  mites, 
The  two  mites  of  which  make  a  farthing-.  And  he  called 
unto  him  his  disciples,  and  saith  unto 

.1  //  -r-r          •  !  T  fTn  -Li     '  LEPTON   (MITE)    OF  TIBERIUS. 

them,     'Verily   1  say   unto    you,    lhat  this  poor 

widow  hath  cast  more  in,  than  all  they  which  have  cast  into  the  treasury : 
for  all  they  did  cast  in  of  their  abundance ;  but  she  of  her  want  did  cast  in 
all  that  she  had,  even  all  her  living." 

And  there  were  certain  Greeks  among  them  that  came  up  to  worship  at 

the  feast :  the  same  came  therefore  to  Philip,  which  was  of  Bethsaida  of 

Galilee,  and  desired  him,  saying,  Sir,  we  would  see  Jesus.     Philip  cometh 

and  telleth  Andrew :  and  ag-ain  Andrew  and  Philip  tell  Jesus. 

Certain  Greeks 

seek  to  see  Jesus.  ^n(|  jesug  answered  them,  saying,  "The  hour  is  come,  that  the 
Son  of  man  should  be  glorified.  Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  you,  Except  a 
corn  of  wheat  fall  into  the  ground  and  die,  it  abideth  alone  :  but  if  it  die,  it 
bringeth  forth  much  fruit.  He  that  loveth  his  life  shall  lose  it ;  and  he 
that  hateth  his  life  in  this  world  shall  keep  it  unto  life  eternal.  If  any  man 
serve  me,  let  him  follow  me  ;  and  where  I  am,  there  shall  also  my  servant 
be  :  if  any  man  serve  me,  him  will  my  Father  honor.  Now  is  my  soul 
troubled  ;  and  what  shall  I  say  ?  Father,  save  me  from  this  hour  :  but  for 
this  cause  came  I  unto  this  hour.  Father,  glorify  thy  name."  Then  came 
there  a  voice  from  heaven,  saying,  "  I  have  both  glorified  it,  and  will 
glorify  it  again."  The  people  therefore,  that  stood  by,  and  heard  it,  said 
that  it  thundered:  others  said,  uAii  angel  spake  to  him."  Jesus  answered 
and  said,  "  This  voice  came  not  because  of  me,  but  for  your  sakes.  Now  is 
the  judgment  of  this  world  :  now  shall  the  prince  of  this  world  be  cast  out. 
And  I,  if  I  be  lifted  up  from  the  earth,  will  draw  all  men  unto  me."  This 
he  said,  signifying  what  death  he  should  die.  The  people  answered  him, 
"  We  have  heard  out  of  the  law  that  Christ  abideth  forever :  and  how 
sayest  tliou,  The  Son  of  man  must  be  lifted  up  ?  who  is  this  Son  of  man  ?  " 
Then  Jesus  said  unto  them,  "  Yet  a  little  while  is  the  light  with  you.  Walk 
while  ye  have  the  light,  lest  darkness  come  upon  you :  for  he  that  walketh 
in  darkness  knoweth  not  whither  he  goeth.  While  ye  have  light,  believe 
in  the  light,  that  ye  may  be  the  children  of  light." 

But  though  he  had  done  so  many  miracles  before  them,  yet  they  believed 
not  on  him  :  that  the  saying  of  Isaiah  the  prophet  might  be  fulfilled,  which 
unbelief  of  the  ne  sPake,  "  Lord,  who  hath  believed  our  report  ?  and  to  whom 
Jews-  hath  the  arm  of  the  Lord  been  revealed?"  Therefore  they 

could  not  believe,  because  that  Isaiah  said  again,  "  He  hath  blinded  their 
eyes,  and  hardened  their  heart ;  that  they  should  not  see  with  their  eyes, 


206         HE   THAT  BELIEVES   ON  JESUS  BELIEVES    ON  GOD. 

nor  understand  witli  their  heart,  and  be  converted,  and  I  should  heal 
them."  These  things  said  Isaiah,  when  he  saw  his  glory,  and  spake  of  him. 
Nevertheless  among  the  chief  rulers  also  many  believed  on  him ;  but 
because  of  the  Pharisees  they  did  not  confess  him,  lest  they  should  be  put 
out  of  the  synagogue  :  for  they  loved  the  praise  of  men  more  than  the 
praise  of  God. 

Jesus  cried  and  said,  "  He  that  belie veth  on  me,  belie veth  not  on  me,  but 
on  him  that  sent  me.  And  he  that  seeth  me  seeth  him  that  sent  me.  I  am 
come  a  light  into  the  world,  that  whosoever  belie  veth  on  me  should  not 
He  that  believes  abide  in  darkness.  And  if  any  man  hear  my  words,  and  believe 
on  God.  not,  I  judge  him  not:  for  I  came  not  to  judge  the  world,  but 

to  save  the  world.  He  that  rejecteth  me,  and  receiveth  not  my  words,  hath 
one  that  judgeth  him :  the  word  that  I  have  spoken,  the  same  shall  judge 
him  in  the  last  day.  For  I  have  not  spoken  of  myself;  but  the  Father 
which  sent  me,  he  gave  me  a  commandment,  what  I  should  say,  and  what 
I  should  speak.  And  I  know  that  his  commandment  is  life  everlasting  : 
whatsoever  I  speak  therefore,  even  as  the  Father  said  unto  me,  so  I  speak." 


JESUS  FOKETELLS  THE  DESTRUCTION  OF  TUE  TEMPLE. 


CHAPTER    XXXV. 

THE  DESTRUCTION   OF  JERUSALEM,   AND   THE  LAST  JUDGMENT. 

rf  NI)  as  he  went  out  of  the  temple,  one  of  his  disciples  saith 
unto  him,  "  Master,  see  what  manner  of  stones  and  what 
building's  are  here  !  "  And  Jesus  answering  said  unto  him, 

O  O  / 

"  Seest  thou  these  great  buildings  I   the  days  will  come,  in 
the  which  there  shall  not  be  left  one  stone  upon  another, 
that  shall  not  be  thrown  down." 
And  as  he  sat  upon  the  mount  of  Olives  over  against  the  temple,  Peter 
and  James  and  John  and  Andrew  asked  him  privately,  "Tell  us,  when  shall 
these  things  be  ?  and  what  shall  be  the  sign  of  thy  coming  and  of  the  end 
Prophecy  concern-  of  the  world  ?  "      And  Jesus  answering  them  began  to   say, 

ing  the  destruc-  .  in 

tion  of  Jerusalem.  ''Take  heed  lest  any  man  deceive  you:  lor  many  shall  come 
in  my  name,  saying,  I  am  Christ ;  and  shall  deceive  many  :  and  the  time 
draweth  near :  go  ye  not  therefore  after  them.  But  when  ye  shall  hear  of 
wars  and  commotions,  be  not  terrified :  for  these  things  must  first  come  to 
pass ;'  but  the  end  is  not  by  and  by."  Then  said  he  unto  them,  "  Nation 
shall  rise  against  nation,  and  kingdom  against  kingdom :  and  great  earth 
quakes  shall  be  in  divers -places,  and  famines,  and  pestilences;  and  fearful 
sights  and  great  signs  shall  there  be  from  heaven.  These  are  the  begin 
nings  of  sorrows.  Then  shall  many  be  offended.  But  take  heed  to  your 
selves  ;  for  before  all  this  they  shall  deliver  you  up  to  councils  and  into 
prisons,  and  in  the  synagogues  ye  shall  be  beaten,  and  ye  shall  be  brought 
before  kings  and  rulers  for  my  name's  sake.  And  it  shall  turn  to  you  for 
a  testimony.  Settle  it  therefore  in  your  hearts,  not  to  meditate  before 
what  ye  shall  answer:  for  I  will  give  you  a  mouth  and  wisdom,  which 
all  your  adversaries  shall  not  be  able  to  gainsay  nor  resist.  Now  the 
brother  shall  betray  the  brother  to  death,  and  the  father  the  son  ;  and 
children  shall  rise  up  against  their  parents,  and  shall  cause  them  to  be 
put  to  death.  And  ye  shall  be  hated  of  all  men  for  my  name's  sake.  But 
there  shall  not  an  hair  of  your  head  perish.  In  your  patience  possess  ye 
your  souls.  And  many  false  prophets  shall  rise,  and  shall  deceive  many. 
And  because  iniquity  shall  abound,  the  love  of  many  shall  wax  cold.  But 


210          THE  COMING  OF  THE  SON  OF  MAN. 

he  that  shall  endure  unto  the  end,  the  same  shall  be  saved.  And  this 
gospel  of  the  kingdom  shall  be  preached  in  all  the  world  for  a  witness 
unto  all  nations  ;  and  then  shall  the  end  come. 

"  When  ye  therefore  shall  see  the  abomination  of  desolation,  spoken  of 
by  Daniel  the  prophet,  stand  in  the  holy  place,  (whoso  readeth,  let  him 
understand :)  then  let  them  which  be  in  Judaea  flee  into  the  mountains :  let 
him  which  is  on  the  house-top  not  come  down  to  take  anything1  out  of  his 
house :  neither  let  him  which  is  in  the  field  return  back  to  take  his  clothes. 
For  these  be  the  days  of  vengeance,  that  all  things  which  are  written  may 
be  fulfilled.  And  woe  unto  them  that  are  with  child,  and  to  them  that  give 
suck  in  those  days  !  But  pray  ye  that  your  flight  be  not  in  the  winter, 
neither  on  the  sabbath  day :  for  in  those  days  shall  be  affliction,  such  as 
was  not  from  the  beginning  of  the  creation  which  God  created  unto  this 
time,  neither  shall  be.  And  they  shall  fall  by  the  edge  of  the  sword, 
and  shall  be  led  away  captive  into  all  nations :  and  Jerusalem  shall  be 
trodden  down  of  the  Gentiles,  until  the  times  of  the  Gentiles  be  fulfilled. 
And  except  those  days  should  be  shortened,  there  should  no  flesh  be  saved : 
but  for  the  elect's  sake  those  days  shall  be  shortened.  Then  if  any  man 
shall  say  unto  you,  Lo,  here  is  Christ,  or  there ;  believe  it  not.  For  there 
shall  arise  false  Christs,  and  false  prophets,  and  shall  show  great  signs  and 
wonders ;  insomuch  that,  if  it  were  possible,  they  shall  deceive  the  very 
elect.  Behold,  I  have  told  you  before.  Wherefore  if  they  shall  say  unto 
you,  Behold,  he  is  in  the  desert ;  go  not  forth :  Behold,  he  is  in  the  secret 
chambers ;  believe  it  not.  For  as  the  lightning  cometh  out  of  the  east,  and 
shineth  even  unto  the  west ;  so  shall  also  the  coming  of  the  Son  of  man  be. 
For  wheresoever  the  carcass  is,  there  will  the  eagles  be  gathered  together. 
Immediately  after  the  tribulation  of  those  *days  shall  the  sun  be  darkened, 
and  the  moon  shall  not  give  her  light,  and  the  stars  shall  fall  from  heaven. 
And  there  shall  be  upon  the  earth  distress  of  nations,  with  perplexity ;  the 
sea  and  the  waves  roaring ;  men's  hearts  failing  them  for  fear,  and  for  look 
ing  after  those  things  which  are  coming  on  the  earth :  for  the  powers  of 
heaven  shall  be  shaken.  And  then  shall  appear  the  sign  of  the  Son  of  man 
in  heaven :  and  then  shall  all  the  tribes  of  the  earth  mourn,  and  they  shall 
see  the  Son  of  man  coming  in  the  clouds  of  heaven  with  power  and  great 
glory.  And  he  shall  send  his  angels  with  a  great  sound  of  a  trumpet,  and 
they  shall  gather  together  his  elect  from  the  four  winds,  from  one  end  of 
heaven  to  the  other.  And  when  these  things  begin  to  come  to  pass,  then 
look  up,  and  lift  up  your  heads ;  for  your  redemption  draweth  nigh. 

"  Now  learn  a  parable  of  the  fig-tree ;  When  his  branch  is  yet  tender, 
and  putteth  forth  leaves,  ye  know  that  summer  is  nigh :  so  likewise  ye, 
when  ye  shall  see  all  these  things,  know  that  the  kingdom  of  God  is  near, 
even  at  the  doors.  Verily  I  say  unto  you,  This  generation  shall  not  pass, 


THE  FAITHFUL  AND    WISE  SERVANT.  211 

till  all  these  things  bo  fulfilled.  Heaven  and  earth  shall  pass  away,  but  my 
words  shall  not  pass  away.  But  of  that  day  and  that  hour  knoweth  no 
man,  no,  not  the  angels  which  are  in  heaven,  neither  the  Son,  but  the 
Father.  Hut  as  the  davs  of  Noah  were,  so  shall  also  the  cumin";  of  the  Son 

M 

of  man  be.  For  as  in  the  days  that  were  before  the  Hood  they  were  eating 
and  drinking,  marrying  and  giving  in  marriage,  until  the  day  that  Noah 
entered  into  the  ark,  and  knew  not  until  the  flood  came,  and  took  them  all 
away;  so  shall  also  the  coining  of  the  Son  of  man  be.  Then  shall  two  be 
in  the  field  ;  the  one  shall  be  taken,  and  the  other  left.  Two  women  shall 
be  grinding  at  the  mill ;  the  one  shall  be  taken,  and  the  other  left.  And 
take  heed  to  yourselves,  lest  at  any  time  your  hearts  be  overcharged  with 
surfeiting,  and  drunkenness,  and  cares  of  this  life,  and  so  that  day  come 
upon  you  unawares.  For  as  a  snare  shall  it  come  on  all  them  that  dwell 
on  the  face  of  the  whole  earth.  Watch  therefore:  for  ye  know  Christ cometh an

the  goodman  of  the  house  had  known  in  what  watch  the  thief  would  come, 
he  would  have  watched,  and  would  not  have  suffered  his  house  to  be 
broken  up.  Therefore  be  ye  also  ready :  for  in  such  an  hour  as  ye  think 
not  the  Son  of  man  cometh.  Who  then  is  a  faithful  and  wise  The  faithful  and 
servant,  whom  his  lord  hath  made  ruler  over  his  household,  to 
give  them  meat  in  due  season  ?  Messed  is  that  servant,  whom  his  lord 
when  he  cometh  shall  find  so  doing.  Verilv  I  say  unto  you,  That  he  shall 
make  him  ruler  over  all  his  goods.  But  and  if  that  evil  servant  shall  say 
in  his  heart,  Mv  lord  delayeth  his  coming;  and  shall  begin  to  smite  his 
fellow-servants,  and  to  eat  and  drink  with  the  drunken  ;  the  lord  of  that 
servant  shall  come  in  a  day  when  he  looketh  not  for  him,  and  in  an  hour 
that  he  is  not  aware  of,  and  shall  cut  him  asunder,  and  appoint  him  his 
portion  with  the  hypocrites  :  there  shall  be  weeping  and  gnashing  of  teeth. 
Watch  ye  therefore:  for  ye  know  not  when  the  master  of  the  house  cometh, 
at  even,  or  at  midnight,  or  at  the  cock-crowing,  or  in  the  morning  :  lest 
coming  suddenly  he  find  you  sleeping.  And  what  I  say  unto  you  I  say 
unto  all,  Watch. 

"Then  shall  the  kingdom  of  heaven  be  likened  unto  ten  virgins,  which 
took  their  lamps,  and  went  forth  to  meet  the  bridegroom.  And  five  of  them 
were  wise,  and  five  were  foolish.  They  that  were  foolish  took  their  lamps, 
and  took  no  oil  with  them :  but  the  wise  took  oil  in  their  vessels  with  their 
lamps.  While  the  bridegroom  tarried,  they  all  slumbered  and  Para,lleoftheUm 
slept.  And  at  midnight  there  was  a  cry  made,  Behold,  the  ' 
bridegroom  cometh;  go  ye  out  to  meet  him.  Then  all  those  virgins  arose, 
and  trimmed  their  lamps.  And  the  foolish  said  unto  the  wise,  Give  us  of 
your  oil;  for  our  lamps  are  gone  out.  But  the  wise  answered,  saying, 
Not  so;  lest  there  be  not  enough  for  us  and  you:  but  go  ye  rather  to 


212  PARABLE  OF  THE  TALENTS. 

them  that  sell,  and  buy  for  yourselves.  And  while  they  went  to  buy,  the 
bridegroom  came ;  and  they  that  were  ready  went  in  with  him  to  the  mar 
riage  :  and  the  door  was  shut.  Afterward  came  also  the  other  virgins,  say 
ing,  Lord,  Lord,  open  to  us.  But  he  answered  and  said,  Verily  I  say 
unto  you,  I  know  you  not.  Watch  therefore,  for  ye  know  neither  the  day 
nor  the  hour  wherein  the  Son  of  man  cometh." 

"For  the  kingdom  of  heaven  is  as  a  man  traveling  into  a  far  country,  who 

called  his  own  servants,  and  delivered  unto  them  his  goods.      And  unto  one 

he  ^ave  five  talents,  to  another  two,  and  to  another  one ;  to  every 

Parable  of  the  J 

man  according  to  his  several  ability ;  and  straightway  took  his 
journey.  Then  he  that  had  received  the  five  talents  went  and  traded  with 
the  same,  and  made  them  other  five  talents.  And  likewise  he  that  had 
received  two,  he  also  gained  other  two.  But  he  that  had  received  one 
went  and  digged  in  the  earth,  and  hid  his  lord's  money.  After  a  long  time 
the  lord  of  those  servants  cometh,  and  reckoneth  with  them.  And  so  he 
that  had  received  five  talents  came  and  brought  other  five  talents,  saying, 
Lord,  thou  deliveredst  unto  me  five  talents :  behold,  I  have  gained  beside 
them  five  talents  more.  His  lord  said  unto  him,  Well  done,  thou  good  and 
faithful  servant :  thou  hast  been  faithful  over  a  few  things,  I  will  make  thee 
ruler  over  many  things  :  enter  thou  into  the  joy  of  thy  lord.  He  also  that 
had  received  two  talents  came  and  said,  Lord,  thou  deliveredst  unto  me  two 
talents :  behold,  I  have  gained  two  other  talents  beside  them.  His  lord  said 
unto  him,  Well  done,  good  and  faithful  servant:  thou  hast  been  faithful 
over  a  few  things,  I  will  make  thee  ruler  over  many  things :  enter  thou  into 
the  joy  of  thy  lord.  Then  he  which  had  received  the  one  talent  came  and 
said,  Lord,  I  knew  thee  that  thou  art  an  hard  man,  reaping  where  thou  hast 
not  sown,  and  gathering  where  thou  hast  not  strawed :  and  I  was  afraid, 
and  went  and  hid  thy  talent  in  the  earth :  lo,  there  thou  hast  that  is  thine. 
His  lord  answered  and  said  unto  him,  Thou  wicked  and  slothful  servant, 
thou  knewest  that  I  reap  where  I  sowed  not,  and  gather  where  I  have  not 
strawed :  thou  oughtest  therefore  to  have  put  my  money  to  the  exchangers, 
and  then  at  my  coming  I  should  have  received  mine  own  with  usury. 
Take  therefore  the  talent  from  him,  and  give  it  unto  him  which  hath  ten 
talents.  For  unto  every  one  that  hath  shall  be  given,  and  he  shall  have 
abundance :  but  from  him  that  hath  not  shall  be  taken  away  even  that 
which  he  hath.  And  cast  ye  the  unprofitable  servant  into  outer  darkness  : 
there  shall  be  weeping  and  gnashing  ot  teeth. 

"When  the  Son  of  man  shall  come  in  his  glory,  and  all  the  holy  angels 
with  him,  then  shall  he  sit  upon  the  throne  of  his  glory :  and  before  him 
of  the  last  jud  shall  be  gathered  all  nations :  and  he  shall  separate  them  one 

from  another,  as  a  shepherd  divideth  his  sheep  from  the  goats : 
and  he  shall  set  the  sheep  on  his  right  hand,  but  the  goats  on  the  left.

Then  shall  the  King  say  unto  them  on  his  right  hand,  Come,  ye  blessed 
of  my  Father,  inherit  the  kingdom  prepared  for  you  from  the  foundation 
of  the  world :  for  I  was  anhungered,  and  ye  gave  me  meat :  I  was  thirsty, 
and  ye  gave  me  drink  :  I  was  a  stranger,  and  ye  took  me  in  :  naked,  and 
ye  clothed  me :  I  was  sick,  and  ye  visited  me :  I  was  in  prison,  and  ye 
came  unto  me.  Then  shall  the  righteous  answer  him,  saying,  Lord,  when 
saw  we  thee  anhungered,  and  fed  thee  ?  or  thirsty,  and  gave  thee  drink  1 
when  saw  we  thee  a  stranger,  and  took  thee  in?  or  naked,  and  clothed 
thee  ?  or  when  saw  we  thee  sick,  or  in  prison,  and  came  unto  thee  ?  And 
the  King  shall  answer  and  say  unto  them,  Verily  I  say  unto  you,  Inas 
much  as  ye  have  done  it  unto  one  of  the  least  of  these  my  brethren,  ye 
have  done  it  unto  me.  Then  shall  he  say  also  unto  them  on  the  left  hand, 
Depart  from  me,  ye  cursed,  into  everlasting  fire,  prepared  for  the  devil  and 
his  angels :  for  I  was  anhungered,  and  ye  gave  me  no  meat :  I  was  thirsty, 
and  ye  gave  me  no  drink :  I  was  a  stranger,  and  ye  took  me  not  in :  naked, 
and  ye  clothed  me  not :  sick,  arid  in  prison,  and  ye  visited  me  not.  Then 
shall  they  also  answer  him,  saying,  Lord,  when  saw  we  thee  anhungered, 
or  athirst,  or  a  stranger,  or  naked,  or  sick,  or  in  prison,  and  did  not  min 
ister  unto  thee  ?  Then  shall  he  answer  them,  saying,  Verily  I  say  unto 
you,  Inasmuch  as  ye  did  it  not  to  one  of  the  least  of  these,  ye  did  it  not 
to  me.  And  these  shall  go  away  into  everlasting  punishment:  but  the 
righteous  into  life  eternal."

XI)  it  came  to  pass,  when  Jesus  had  finished  all  these  say 
ings,  he  said  unto  his  disciples,  "Ye  know  that  after  two 
days  is  the  feast  of  the  passover,  and  the  Son  of  man  is 
betrayed  to  be  crucified." 

Then  assembled  together  the  chief  priests,  and  the 
scribes,  and  the  elders  of  the  people,  unto  the  palace  of 
the  high-priest,  who  was  called  Caiaphas,  and  consulted  that  they  might 
take  Jesus  by  subtilty,  and  kill  him.  Hut  they  said,  "Not  on  the  feast- 
da  v,  lest  there  be  an  uproar  among  the  people." 

Then  entered  Satan  into  Judas  surnamed  Iscariot,  being  of  the  number 
of  the  twelve.     And  he  went  his  way,  and  communed  with  the  The  treachery  of 
chief  priests  and  captains,  how  he  might  betray  him  unto  them. 
And   he  said  unto  them,  "What  will  ye  give  me,  and  I  will  deliver  him 

unto  you  !  "  And  they  covenanted 
with  him  for  thirty  pieces  of  silver. 
And  he  promised,  and  sought  op 
portunity  to  betray  him  unto  them 
in  the  absence  of  the  multitude. 

Now  the  first  day  of  the  feast  of 
unleavened  bread,  when  the  pass- 
over  must  be  killed,  the  disciples 
came  to  Jesus,  saying  unto  him, 
"Where  wilt  thou  that  we  prepare  for  thee  to  eat  the  pass-  Jtmmendtiwo 
over!"  And  he  sent  Peter  and  John,  saying,  "Go  ye  into  the  J^Se'iS?" 
city,  and  there  shall  meet  yon  a  man  bearing  a  pitcher  of  c 
water:  follow  him.  And  wheresover  he  shall  go  in,  say  ye  to  the  good- 
man  of  the  house,  The  Master  saith,  AVhere  is  the  guest-chamber,  where  1 
shall  eat  the  passover  with  my  disciples  ?  And  he  will  show  you  a  larjre 
upper  room,  furnished  and  prepared :  there  make  ready  for  us."  And  his 
disciples  went  forth,  and  came  into  the  city,  and  found  as  he  had  said 
unto  them:  and  they  made  ready  the  passover.

JESUS   WA81IETII  THE  FEET  OF   THE  DISCIPLES.          217 

Now  when  the  even  was  come,  Jesus  sat  down  with  the  twelve.     And 
wl  u'ii  he  knew  that  his  hour  was  come  that  he  should  depart 
out  of  this  world  unto  the  Father,  having  loved  his  own  which 


were  in  the  world,  he  loved  them  unto  the  end.  And  ho  said  unto  them, 
"  With  desire  I  have  desired  to  eat  this  passover  with  you  before  I  suffer: 
for  I  say  unto  you,  I  will  not  any  more  eat  thereof,  until  it  be  fulfilled  in 
the  kingdom  of  God." 

And  supper  being  ended,  there  was  also  a  strife  among  them,  which  of 
them  should  be  accounted  the  greatest.  Jesus  knowing  that  the  Father 
had  given  all  things  into  his  hands,  and  that  he  was  come  from  God,  and 
went  to  God;  he  riseth  from  supper,  and  laid  aside  his  garments;  and  took 
a  towel,  and  girded  himself.  After  that  he  poureth  water  into  a  JMUB  wwhe.  the 

,         .  11  i         i  i  •       •     i       i    <*  i  •  ^eet  °^  ^°  ****" 

basin,  and  began  to  wash  the  disciples  ieet,  and  to  wipe  them  ciPle* 
with  the  towel  wherewith  ho  was  girded.  Then  cometh  he  to  Simon  Peter: 
and  Peter  saith  unto  him,  "Lord,  dost  thou  wash  my  feet  I"  Jesus  an 
swered  and  said  unto  him,  "What  I  do  thou  knowest  not  now;  but  thou 
slialt  know  hereafter."  Peter  saith  unto  him,  "  Thou  shalt  never  wash  my 
feet."  Jesus  answered  him,  "  If  I  wash  thee  not,  thou  hast  no  part  with" 
me."  Simon  Peter  saith  unto  him,  "  Lord,  not  my  feet  only,  but  also  my 
hands  and  my  head."  Jesus  saith  to  him,  "He  that  is  washed  needeth  not 
save  to  wash  his  feet,  but  is  clean  every  whit:  and  ye  are  clean,  but  not 
all."  For  he  knew  who  should  betray  him;  therefore  said  he,  "Ye  are  not 
all  clean." 

So  after  he  had  washed  their  feet,  and  had  taken  his  garments,  and  was 
set  down  again,  he  said  unto  them,  "  Know  ye  what  I  have  done  to  you  ? 
The  kings  of  the  Gentiles  exercise  lordship  over  them  ;  and  they  that  exer 
cise  authority  upon  them  are  called  benefactors.  But  ye  shall  not  bo  so  : 
but  he  that  is  greatest  among  you,  let  him  be  as  the  younger:  and  he  that 
is  chief,  as  he  that  doth  serve.  For  whether  is  greater,  he  that  sitteth  at 
meat,  or  he  that  servethl  is  not  he  that  sitteth  at  meat?  but  I  am  among 
YOU  as  he  that  serveth.  Ye  call  me  Master  and  Lord:  and  ye  say  well; 
for  so  I  am.  If  I  then,  your  Lord  and  Master,  have  washed  your  feet  ;  ye 
also  ought  to  wash  one  another's  feet.  For  I  have  given  you  an  example, 
that  ye  should  do  as  I  have  done  to  you.  Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  you, 
The  servant  is  not  greater  than  his  lord  ;  neither  he  that  is  sent  greater 
than  he  that  sent  him.  If  ye  know  these  things,  happy  are  ye  if  ye  do 
them.  Ye  are  they  which  have  continued  with  me  in  my  temptations. 
And  I  appoint  unto  you  a  kingdom,  as  my  Father  hath  appointed  unto  me; 
that  ye  may  eat  and  drink  at  my  table  in  my  kingdom,  and  sit  on  thrones 
judging  the  twelve  tribes  of  Israel.  I  speak  not  of  you  all  :  I  know  whom 
I  have  chosen  :  but  that  the  scripture  may  be  fulfilled,  He  that  eateth 
bread  with  me  hath  lifted  up  his  heel  against  inc.  Now  I  tell  you  before  it 


THE  LORD* 8  SUPPER  INSTITUTED.  219 

,  that,  when  it  is  come  to  pass,  ye  may  believe  that  I  am  he.  Verilv, 
verily,  I  say  unto  you,  He  that  receiveth  whomsoever  I  send  receiveth  me; 
and  he  that  receiveth  me  receiveth  him  that  sent  me." 

When  Jesus  had  thus  said,  (the  devil  having1  now  put  into  the  heart  of 
Judas  Iscariot,  Simon's  son,  to  betray  him,)  ho  was  troubled  in  spirit,  and 
testified,  and  said,  "Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  you,  that  one  of  you  shall 
hi'tniv  me."  Then  the  disciples  looked  one  on  another,  doubt-  HO predict* that 

,.  lAii  i  •  ft       Judas  will  betray 

ing  or  whom  lie  spake.  And  they  were  exceeding  sorrowful,  him- 
and  began  every  one  of  them  to  say  unto  him,  "Lord,  is  it  II"  Now 
there  was  leaning  on  Jesus'  bosom  one  of  his  disciples,  whom  Jesus  loved. 
Simon  Peter  therefore  beckoned  to  him,  that  he  should  ask  who  it  should 
be  of  whom  he  spake.  He  then  lying  on  Jesus'  breast  saith  unto  him, 
"Lord,  who  is  it!"  Jesus  answered,  "He  it  is,  to  whom  I  shall  give  a 
sop,  when  I  have  dipped  it.  The  Son  of  man  goeth  as  it  is  written  of  him : 
but  woe  unto  that  man  by  whom  the  Son  of  man  is  betrayed  !  it  had  been 
good  for  that  man  if  he  had  not  been  born."  And  when  he  had  dipped  the 
sop,  he  gave  it  to  Judas  Iscariot,  the  son  of  Simon.  And  after  the  sop 
Satan  entered  into  him.  Then  said  Jesus  unto  him,  "  That  them  doest,  do 
(|iiickl\ .''  Now  no  man  at  the  table  knew  for  what  intent  he  spake  this 
untu  him.  For  some  of  them  thought,  because  Judas  had  the  bag,  that 
Jesus  had  said  unto  him,  Buy  those  things  that  we  have  need  of  against 
the  feast ;  or,  that  he  should  give  something  to  the  poor.  He  then  having 
received  the  sop  went  immediately  out :  and  it  was  night.  Therefore,  when 
he  was  gone  out,  Jesus  said,  "Now  is  the  Son  of  man  glorified,  and  God  is 
glorified  in  him.  If  God  be  glorified  in  him,  God  shall  also  glorify  him  in 
himself,  and  shall  straightway  glorify  him.  Little  children,  yet  a  little 
while  I  am  with  you.  Ye  shall  seek  me:  and  as  I  said  unto  the  Jews, 
Whither  I  go,  ye  cannot  come ;  so  now  I  say  to  you.  A  new  command 
ment  I  give  unto  you,  That  ye  love  one  another ;  as  I  have  loved  you,  that 
ye  also  love  one  another.  By  this  shall  all  men  know  that  ye  are  my 
disciples,  if  ye  have  love  one  to  another." 

And  as  they  were  eating,  Jesus  took  bread,  and  when  he  had  given 
thanks,  he  brake  it,  and  gave  it  to  the  disciples,  and  said,  "Take,  eat;  this 
is  my  body  which  is  given  for  you:  this  do  in  remembrance  rb9Uufnmppm 
of  me."  After  the  same  manner  also  he  took  the  cup  after  j 
supper,  and  gave  thanks,  and  gave  it  to  them,  saying,  "Drink  ye  all  of 
it ;  for  this  is  my  blood  of  the  new  testament,  which  is  shed  for  many  for 
the  remission  of  sins.  This  do  as  often  as  ye  drink  it  in  remembrance 
of  me.  Verily  I  say  unto  you,  I  will  not  drink  henceforth  of  this  fruit 
of  the  vine,  until  that  day  when  I  drink  it  new  with  you  in  my  Father's 
kingdom."  And  they  all  drank  of  it. 

Simon  Peter  said  unto  him,   "  Lord,    whither  goest  thou  f "    Jesus  an- 


220     CHRIST  PROPHESIETH  THAT  PETER    WILL  DENY  HIM. 

swered  him,  "  Whither  I  go,  thou  canst  not  follow  me  now ;  but  thou  shalt 
follow  me  afterwards."  Peter  said  unto  him,  Lord,  why  cannot  I  follow 
thee  now  1  I  will  lay  down  my  life  for  thy  sake."  Then  saith  Jesus  unto 
them,  "All  ye  shall  be  offended  because  of  me  this  night :  for  it  is  written, 
I  will  smite  the  shepherd,  and  the  sheep  of  the  flock  shall  be  scattered 
abroad.  But  after  I  am  risen  again,  I  will  go  before  you  into  Galilee." 
Peter  answered  and  said  unto  him,  "Though  all  men  shall  be  offended  be 
cause  of  thee,  yet  will  I  never  be  offended."  And  the  Lord  said,  "  Simon, 
Simon,  behold,  Satan  hath  desired  to  have  you,  that  he  may  sift  you  as 
wheat:,  but  I  have  prayed  for  thee,  that  thy  faith  fail  not:  and  when  thou 
art  converted,  strengthen  thy  brethren."  And  he  said  unto  him,  "  Lord,  I 
am  ready  to  go  with  thee,  both  into  prison,  and  to  death."  And  he  said, 


u 


He  prophesieth     "I  tell  .thee,  Peter,  That  this  day,  even  in  this  night,  before  the 

that  Peter  will  .11111 

deny  him.  cock  crow  twice,  thou  shalt  deny  me  thrice.       But  he  spake  the 

more  vehemently,  "  If  I  should  die  with  thee,  I  will  not  deny  thee  in  any 
wise."     Likewise  also  said  they  all. 

And  he  said  unto  them,  "  When  I  sent  you  without  purse,  and  scrip,  and 
shoes,  lacked  ye  anything!"  And  they  said,  "Nothing."  Then  said  he 
unto  them,  "  But  now,  he  that  hath  a  purse,  let  him  take  it,  and  likewise 
his  scrip :  and  he  that  hath  no  sword,  let  him  sell  his  garment,  and  buy 
one.  For  I  say  unto  you,  that  this  that  is  written  must  yet  be 
accomplished  in  me,  And  he  was  reckoned  among  the  trans 
gressors  :  for  the  things  concerning  me  have  an  end."  And  they  said, 
"  Lord,  behold,  here  are  two  swords."  And  he  said  unto  them,  "It  is 
enough." 


He  again  foretells 
his  death.

also  in  me.  In  my  Father's  house  are  many  mansions: 
if  it  were  not  so,  I  would  have  told  you.  I  go  to  prepare 
a  place  for  you.  And  if  I  go  and  prepare  a  place  for  you, 
I  will  come  again,  and  receive  you  unto  myself;  that 
where  I  am,  there  ye  may  be  also.  And  whither  I  go  ye 
know,  and  the  way  ye  know." 

Thomas  saith  unto  him,  "Lord,  we  know  not  whither  thon  goest;  and 
how  can  we  know  the  way?"    Jesus  saith  unto  him,  "I  am  the

but  by  me.  If  ye  had  known  me,  ye  should  have  known  my  Father  also  : 
and  from  henceforth  ye  know  him,  and  have  seen  him." 

Philip  saith  unto  him,  "Lord,  show  us  the  Father,  and  it  sufficeth  us." 
Jesus  saith  unto  him,  "  Have  I  been  so  long  time  with  you,  and  yet  hast 
thou  not  known  me,  Philip  ?  he  that  hath  seen  me  hath  seen  the  Father  ;

Father  in  me  :  or  else  believe  me  for  the  very  works'  sake.  Verily,  verily, 
I  say  unto  you,  He  that  believeth  on  me,  the  works  that  I  do  shall  he  do 
also  ;  and  greater  works  than  these  shall  he  do  ;  because  I  go  unto  my 
Father.  And  whatsoever  ye  shall  ask  in  my  name,  that  will  I  do,  that  the 
Father  may  be  glorified  in  the  Son. 

"  If  ye  shall  ask  anything  in  my  name,  I  will  do  it.  If  ye  love  me,  keep 
my  commandments.  And  I  will  pray  the  Father,  and  he  shall  give  you 
another  Comforter,  that  he  may  abide  with  you  forever  ;  even  the  Spirit 
of  truth  ;  whom  the  world  cannot  receive,  because  it  seeth  him  not,  neither 
knoweth  him  :  but  ye  know  him  ;  for  he  dwelleth  with  you,  and  shall  be

and  ye  in  me,  and  I  in  you.  He  that  hath  my  commandments,  and 
keepeth  them,  he  it  is  that  loveth  me  :  and  he  that  loveth  me  shall  be 
loved  of  my  Father,  and  I  will  love  him,  and  will  manifest  myself  to 
him."  Judas  saith  unto  him,  not  Iscariot,  "  Lord,  how  is  it  that  thou  wilt 
manifest  thyself  unto  us,  and  not  unto  the  world  I  " 

Jesus  answered  and  saith  unto  him,  "  If  a  man  love  me,  he  will  keep  my 
words  :  and  my  Father  will  love  him,  and  we  will  come  unto  him,  and 
He  promises  the  make  our  abode  with  him.  He  that  loveth  me  not  keepeth  not

Father's  which  sent  me.  These  things  have  I  spoken  unto  you,  being  yet 
present  with  you.  But  the  Comforter,  which  is  the  Holy  Ghost,  whom  the 
Father  will  send  in  my  name,  he  shall  teach  you  all  things,  and  bring  all 
things  to  your  remembrance,  whatsoever  I  have  said  unto  you.  Peace  I 
leave  with  you,  my  peace  I  give  unto  you :  not  as  the  world  giveth,  give  I 
unto  you.  Let  not  your  heart  be  troubled,  neither  let  it  be  afraid.  Ye 
have  heard  how  I  said'  unto  you,  I  go  away,  and  come  again  unto  you.  If 
ye  loved  me,  ye  would  rejoice,  because  I  said,  I  go  unto  the  Father:  for 
my  Father  is  greater  than  I.  And  now  I  have  told  you  before  it'  come  to 
pass,  that,  when  it  is  come  to  pass,  ye  might  believe.  Hereafter  I  will  not 
talk  much  with  you  :  for  the  prince  of  this  world  cometh,  and  hath  nothing 
in  me.  But  that  the  world  may  know  that  I  love  the  Father ;  and  as  the 
Father  gave  me  commandment,  even  so  I  do.  Arise,  let  us  go  hence.

fruit.  Now  ye  are  clean  through  the  word  which  1  have  spoken  unto  you. 
Abide  in  me,  and  I  in  you.  As  the  branch  cannot  bear  fruit  of  itself,  ex 
cept  it  abide  in  the  vine ;  no  more  can  ye,  except  ye  abide  in  me.  I  am 
the  vine,  ye  are  the  branches :  He  that  abideth  in  me,  and  I  in  him,  the 
same  bringeth  forth  much  fruit :  for  without  me  ye  can  do  nothing.  If  a 
man  abide  not  in  me,  he  is  cast  forth  as  a  branch,  and  is  withered ;  and 
men  gather  them,  and  cast  them  into  the  fire,  and  they  are  burned.  If  ye 
abide  in  me,  and  my  words  abide  in  you,  ye  shall  ask  what  ye  will,  and  it 
shall  be  done  unto  you.  Herein  is  my  Father  glorified,  that  ye  bear  much 
fruit ;  so  shall  ye  be  my  disciples.  As  the  Father  hath  loved  me,  so  have 
I  loved  you :  continue  ye  in  my  love.  If  ye  keep  my  commandments,  ye 
shall  abide  in  my  love ;  even  as  I  have  kept  my  Father's  commandments, 
and  abide  in  his  love.  These  things  have  I  spoken  unto  you,  that  my  joy 
might  remain  in  you,  and  that  your  joy  might  be  full.  This  is  my  com 
mandment,  That  ye  love  one  another,  as  I  have  loved  you.  Greater  love 
hath  no  man  than  this,  that  a  man  lay  down  his  life  for  his  friends.  Ye  are

my  friends,  if  ye  do  whatsoever  I  command  you.  Henceforth  I  call  you 
not  servants ;  for  the  servant  knoweth  not  what  his  lord  doetli :  but  I  have 
called  you  friends ;  for  all  things  that  I  have  heard  of  my  Father  I  have 
made  known  unto  you.  Ye  have  not  chosen  me,  but  I  have  chosen  you, 
and  ordained  you,  that  ye  should  go  and  bring  forth  fruit,  and  that  your 
fruit  should  remain :  that  whatsoever  ye  shall  ask  of  the  Father  in  my 
name,  he  may  give  it  you.  These  things  I  command  you,  that  ye  love 
one  another.  If  the  world  hate  you,  ye  know  that  it  hated  me  before  it 
hated  you.  If  ye  were  of  the  world,  the  world  would  love  his

own :  but  because  ye  are  not  of  the  world,  but  I  have  chosen  v***™*0**- 
you  out  of  the  world,  therefore  the  world  hateth  you.  Remember  the 
word  that  I  said  unto  you,  The  servant  is  not  greater  than  his  lord.  If 
they  have  persecuted  me,  they  will  also  persecute  you;  if  they  have  kept 
my  saying,  they  will  keep  yours  also.  But  all  these  things  will  they  do 
unto  you  for  my  name's  sake,  because  they  know  not  him  that  sent  me. 
If  I  had  not  come  and  spoken  unto  them,  they  had  not  had  sin ;  but  now 
they  have  no  cloke  for  their  sin.  He  that  hateth  me  hateth  my  Father  also. 
If  I  had  not  done  among  them  the  works  which  none  other  man  did,  they 
had  not  had  sin:  but  now  have  they  both  seen  and  hated  both  me  and  my 
Father.  But  this  cometh  to  pass,  that  the  word  might  be  fulfilled  that  is 
written  in  their  law,  They  hated  me  without  a  cause.  But  , 

J  The  Comforter 

when  the  Comforter  is  come,  whom  I  will  send  unto  you  from  pr01 
the  Father,  even  the  Spirit  of  truth,  which  proceedeth  from  the  Father,  he 
shall  testify  of  me :  and  ye  also  shall  bear  witness,  because  ye  have  been 
with  me  from  the  beginning. 

"  These  things  have  I  spoken  unto  you,  that  ye  should  not  be  offended. 
They  shall  put  you  out  of  the  synagogues :  yea,  the  time  cometh,  that  who 
soever  killeth  you  will  think  that  he  doeth  God  service.  And  these  things 
will  they  do  imto  you,  because  they  have  not  known  the  Father,  nor  me. 
But  these  things  have  I  told  you,  that  when  the  time  shall  come,  ye  may 
remember  that  I  told  you  of  them.  And  these  things  I  said  not  unto  you 
at  the  beginning,  because  I  was  with  you.  But  now  I  go  my  way  to  him 
that  sent  me ;  and  none  of  you  asketh  me,  Whither  goest  thou  ?  but  because 
I  have  said  these  things  unto  you,  sorrow  hath  filled  your  heart.  Never 
theless  I  tell  you  the  truth.  It  is  expedient  for  you  that  I  go  away :  for  if  I 
go  not  away,  the  Comforter  will  not  come  unto  you ;  but  if  I  depart,  I  will 
send  him  unto  you.  And  when  he  is  come,  he  will  reprove  the  world  of 
sin,  and  of  righteousness,  and  of  judgment:  of  sin,  because  they  believe  not 
on  me ;  of  righteousness,  because  I  go  to  my  Father,  and  ye  see  me  no 
more;  of  judgment,  because  the  prince  of  this  world  is  judged.  I  have  yet 
many  things  to  say  unto  you,  but  ye  cannot  bear  them  now.  Howbeit 
when  he,  the  Spirit  of  truth,  is  come,  he  will  guide  you  into  all  truth :  for

lie  shall  not  speak  of  himself;  but  whatsoever  he  shall  hear,  that  shall  he 
speak :  and  he  will  show  you  things  to  come.  He  shall  glorify  me :  for  he 
shall  receive  of  mine,  and  shall  show  it  unto  you.  All  things  that  the 
Father  hath  are  mine :  therefore  said  I,  that  he  shall  take  of  mine,  and  shall 
show  it  unto  you.  A  little  while,  and  ye  shall  not  see  me ;  and  again,  a 
little  while,  and  ye  shall  see  me,  because  I  go  to  the  Father." 

Then  said  some  of  his  disciples  among  themselves,  "  What  is  this  that  he 
saith  unto  us,  A  little  while,  and  ye  shall  not  see  me :  and  again,  a  little 
while,  and  ye  shall  see  me  :  and,  Because  I  go  to  the  Father  ?  "  They 
said  therefore,  "  What  is  this  that  he  saith,  A  little  while  ?  we  cannot 
tell  what  he  saith." 

Now  Jesus  knew  that  they  were  desirous  to  ask  him,  and  said  unto 
them,  "  Do  ye  inquire  among  yourselves  of  that  I  said,  A  little  while, 
and  ye  shall  not  see  me :  and  again,  a  little  while,  and  ye  shall  see 
me  I  Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  you,  That  ye  shall  weep  and  lament, 
but  the  world  shall  rejoice  :  and  ye  shall  be  sorrowful,  but  your  sorrow 
shall  be  turned  into  joy.  A  woman  when  she  is  in  travail

hath  sorrow,  because  her  hour  is  come :  but  as  soon  as  she 
is  delivered  of  the  child,  she  remembereth  no  more  the  anguish,  for  joy 
that  a  man  is  born  into  the  world.  And  ye  now  therefore  have  sorrow : 
but  I  will  see  you  again,  and  your  heart  shall  rejoice,  and  your  joy  no  man 
taketh  from  you.  And  in  that  day  ye  shall  ask  me  nothing.  Verily,  ver 
ily,  I  say  unto  you,  Whatsoever  ye  shall  ask  the  Father  in  my  name,  he 
will  give  it  you.  Hitherto  have  ye  asked  nothing  in  my  name :  ask,  and 
ye  shall  receive,  that  your  joy  may  be  full.  These  things  have  I  spoken 
unto  you  in  proverbs :  but  the  time  cometh,  when  I  shall  no  more  speak 
unto  you  in  proverbs,  but  I  shall  show  you  plainly  of  the  Father.  At  that 
day  ye  shall  ask  in  my  name :  and  I  say  not  unto  you,  that  I  will  pray  the 
Father  for  you :  for  the  Father  himself  loveth  you,  because  ye  have  loved 
me,  and  have  believed  that  I  came  out  from  God.  I  came  forth  from  the 
Father,  and  am  come  into  the  Avorld :  again,  I  leave  the  world,  and  go  to 
the  Father."  His  disciples  said  unto  him,  "  Lo,  now  speakest  thou  plainly, 
and  speakest  no  proverb.  Now  are  we  sure  that  thou  knowest  all  things, 
and  needest  not  that  any  man  should  ask  thee :  by  this  we  believe  that 
thou  earnest  forth  from  God."  Jesus  answered  them,  "  Do  ye

ye  shall  be  scattered,  every  man  to  his  own,  and  shall  leave  me  alone :  and 
yet  I  am  not  alone,  because  the  Father  is  with  me.  These  things  I  have 
spoken  unto  you,  that  in  me  ye  might  have  peace.  In  the  world  ye  shall

words  spake  Jesus,  and  lifted  up  his  eyes  to  heaven, 
and  said,  "  Father,  the  hour  is  come ;  glorify  thy  Son, 
that  thy  Son  also  may  glorify  thee :  as  thou  hast  given 
him  power  over  all  flesh,  that  he  should  give  eternal  life 
to  as  many  as  thou  hast  given  him.  And  this  is  life 
eternal,  that  they  might  know  thee  the  only  true  God,  and  Jesus  Christ, 
whom  thou  hast  sent.  I  have  glorified  thee  on  the  earth :  I  have  finished 
the  work  which  thou  gavest  me  to  do.  And  now,  0  Father,  glorify  thou 
me  with  thine  own  self  with  the  glory  which  I  had  with  thee  before  the 
world  was.  I  have  manifested  thy  name  unto  the  men  which  thou  gavest 
me  out  of  the  world:  thine  they  were,  and  thou  gavest  them  me ;  and  they 
have  kept  thy  word.  Now  they  have  known  that  all  things  whatsoever 
thou  hast  given  me  are  of  thee.  For  I  have  given  unto  them  the  words 
which  thou  gavest  me ;  and  they  have  received  them,  and  have  known 
surely  that  I  came  out  from  thee,  and  they  have  believed  that  thou  didst 
send  me.  I  pray  for  them :  I  pray  not  for  the  world,  but  for  them  which 
thou  hast  given  me ;  for  they  are  thine.  And  all  mine  are  thine,  and  thine

I  kept  them  in  thy  name :  those  that  thou  gavest  me  I  have  kept,  and 
none  of  them  is  lost,  but  the  son  of  perdition ;  that  the  scripture  might 
be  fulfilled.  And  now  come  I  to  thee  ;  and  these  things  I  speak  in  the 
world,  that  they  might  have  my  joy  fulfilled  in  themselves.  I  have  given 
them  thy  word ;  and  the  world  hath  hated  them,  because  they  are  not  of 
the  world,  even  as  I  am  not  of  the  world.  I  pray  not  that  thou  shouldest 
take  them  out  of  the  world,  but  that  thou  shouldest  keep  them  from  the 
evil.  They  are  not  of  the  world,  even  as  I  am  not  of  the  world.  Sanctify 
them  through  thy  truth :  thy  word  is  truth.  As  thou  hast  sent  me  into  the 
world,  even  so  have  I  also  sent  them  into  the  world.  And  for  their  sakes  I

sanctify  myself,  that  they  also  might  be  sanctified  through  the  truth.  Neither 
pray  I  for  these  alone,  but  for  them  also  which  shall  believe  on  me  through 
their  word ;  that  they  all  may  be  one  ;  as  thou,  Father,  art  in  me,  and  I  in 
thee,  that  they  also  may  be  one  in  us :  that  the  world  may  believe  that  thou 
hast  sent  me.  And  the  glory  which  thou  gavest  me  I  have  given  them ;  that 
they  may  be  one,  even  as  we  are  one  :  I  in  them,  and  thou  in  me,  that  they 
may  be  made  perfect  in  one  ;  and  that  the  world  may  know  that  thou  hast 
sent  me,  and  hast  loved  them,  as  thou  hast  loved  me.  Father,  I  will  that 
they  also,  whom  thou  hast  given  me,  be  with  me  where  I  am ;  that  they 
may  behold  my  glory,  which  thou  hast  given  me :  for  thou  lovedst  me  be 
fore  the  foundation  of  the  world.  0  righteous  Father,  the  world  hath  not 
known  thee :  but  I  have  known  thee,  and  these  have  known  that  thou  hast 
sent  me.  And  I  have  declared  unto  them  thy  name,  and  will  declare  it : 
that  the  love  wherewith  thou  hast  loved  me  may  be  in  them,  and  I  in 
them." 

And  when  they  had   sung  an   hymn,   they  went  out   over  the  brook 
The  agony  in  the   Cedron,  into  the  mount  of  Olives.     Then  cometh  Jesus  with 

garden  of  Geth-  -  111/^1  i  -i  • 

semane.  tliem  unto  a  place  called  (jrethsemane,  where  was  a  garden,  into 

the  which  he  entered,  and  his  disciples.  And  he  saith  unto  the  disciples, 
"Sit  ye  here,  while  I  go  and  pray  yonder."  And  he  took  with  him  Peter 
and  the  two  sons  of  Zebedee,  and  began  to  be  sorrowful  and  very  heavy. 
Then  saith  he  unto  them,  "  My  soul  is  exceeding  sorrowful,  even  unto 
death :  tarry  ye  here,  and  watch  with  me."  And  he  went  a  little  farther, 

«/      «/ 

and  fell  on  his  face,  and  prayed,  saying,  "  O  my  Father,  if  it  be  possible, 
let  this  cup  pass  from  me :  nevertheless  not  as  I  will,  but  as  thou  wilt." 
And  when  he  rose  up  from  prayer,  and  was  come  to  his  disciples,  he  found 
them  sleeping  for  sorrow.  And  he  saith  unto  Peter,  "  What,  could  ye  not 
watch  with  me  one  hour  ?  watch  and  pray,  that  ye  enter  not  into  tempta 
tion  :  the  spirit  indeed  is  willing,  but  the  flesh  is  weak."  He  went  away 
again  the  second  time,  and  prayed,  saying,  "O  my  Father,  if  this  cup  may 
not  pass  away  from  me,  except  I  drink  it,  thy  will  be  done."  And  he  came 
and  found  them  asleep  again,  (for  their  eyes  were  heavy,)  neither  wist  they 
what  to  answer  him.  And  he  left  them,  and  went  away  again,  and  prayed 
the  third  time,  saying  the  same  words.  And  there  appeared  an  angel  unto 
him  from  heaven,  strengthening  him.  And  being  in  an  agony  he  prayed 
more  earnestly :  and  his  sweat  was  as  it  were  great  drops  of  blood  foiling 
down  to  the  ground.  Then  cometh  he  to  his  disciples,  and  saith  unto 
them,  "  Sleep  on  now,  and  take  your  rest :  behold,  the  hour  is  at  hand, 
and  the  Son  of  man  is  betrayed  into  the  hands  of  sinners.  Rise,  let  us  be 
going:  behold,  he  is  at  hand  that  doth  betray  me." 

And  while  he  yet  spake,  lo,  Judas,  (which  betrayed  him,  for  he  knew 
the  place :  for  Jesus  ofttimes  resorted  thither  with  his  disciples,)  one  of  the

twelve,  came,  and  with  him  a  great  multitude  with  lanterns  and  torches 

and  swords  and  staves,  from  the  chief  priests  and  elders  of  the  people.

went  forth,  and  said  unto  them,  "Whom  seek  ye?"  They 
answered  him,  "Jesus  of  Nazareth."  Jesus  saith  unto  them,  "I  am  he." 
And  Judas  also,  which  betrayed  him,  stood  with  them.  As  soon  then  as 
he  had  said  unto  them,  "  I  am  he,"  they  went  backward,  and  fell  to  the 
ground.  Then  asked  he  them  again,  "Whom  seek  ye?"  And  they  said, 
"Jesus  of  Nazareth."  Jesus  answered,  "I  have  told  you  that  I  am  he:  if 
therefore  ye  seek  me,  let  these  go  their  way " ;  that  the  saying  might  be 
fulfilled,  which  he  spake,  "  Of  them  which  thou  gavest  me  have  I  lost 
none."  Now  he  that  betrayed  him  gave  them  a  sign,  saying,  "  Whomso 
ever  I  shall  kiss,  that  same  is  he :  hold  him  fast."  And  forthwith  he  came 
to  Jesus,  and  said,  "Hail,  Master";  and  kissed  him.  And  Jesus  said  unto 
him,  "Friend,  wherefore  art  thou  come?  Judas,  betray est  thou  the  Son 
of  man  with  a  kiss  ?  "  Then  the  band  and  the  captain  and  officers  of  the 
Jews  took  Jesus,  and  bound  him.  When  they  which  were  about  him  saw 
peter  smites  what  would  follow,  they  said  unto  him,  "Lord,  shall  we  smite 

with  the  sword  ?  "  Then  Simon  Peter  having  a  sword  drew  it, 
and  smote  the  high-priest's  servant,  and  cut  off  his  right  ear.  The  servant's 
name  was  Mai  elms.  Then  said  Jesus  unto  Peter,  "Put  up  thy  sword  into 
the  sheath :  the  cup  which  my  Father  hath  given  me,  shall  I  not  drink  it  ? 
for  all  they  that  take  the  sword  shall  perish  with  the  sword.  Thinkest  thou 
that  I  cannot  now  pray  to  my  Father,  and  he  shall  presently  give  me  more 
than  twelve  legions  of  angels?  but  how  then  shall  the  scriptures  be  ful 
filled,  that  thus  it  must  be?  Suffer  ye  thus  far."  And  he  touched  Malchus' 
ear,  and  healed  him. 

Then  Jesus  said  unto  the  chief  priests,  and  captains  of  the  temple,  and 
the  elders,  which  were  come  to  him,  "  Be  ye  come  out,  as  against  a  thief, 

with  swords  and   staves  ?    when  I  was  daily  with  you  in  the

temple,  ye  stretched  forth  no  hands  against  me :  but  tins  is 
your  hour,  and  the  power  of  darkness."  Then  all  the  disciples  forsook 
him,  and  fled. 

And  there  followed  him  a  certain  young  man,  having  a  linen  cloth  cast 
about  his  naked  body ;  and  the  young  men  laid  hold  on  him :  and  he  left 
the  linen  cloth,  and  fled  from  them  naked.

high-priest  that  same  year.     Now  Caiaphas  was  he,  which 
gave  counsel  to  the  Jews,  that  it  was  expedient  that  one 
man  should  die  for  the  people.     Now  Annas  had  sent  him 
bound  unto  Caiaphas  the  high-priest.     And  Simon  Peter 
followed  Jesus  afar  off,  and  so    did   another   disciple :    that   disciple  was 
known  unto  the  hiiHi-priest,  and  went  in  with  Jesus  into  the

out.  Then  went  out  that  other  disciple,  which  was  known  unto  the  high- 
priest,  and  spake  unto  her  that  kept  the  door,  and  brought  in  Peter.  And 
the  servants  and  officers  stood  there,  who  had  made  a  fire  of  coals ;  for  it 
was  cold :  and  they  warmed  themselves :  and  Peter  went  in  and  warmed 
himself,  and  sat  with  the  servants,  to  see  the  end. 

And  as  Peter  was  beneath  in  the  palace,  there  cometh  the  damsel  that 
kept  the  door.  And  when  she  saw  Peter  warming  himself,  she  earnestly 
peter  demeth  looked  upon  him,  and  said,  "Art  not  tliou  also  one  of  this  man's 
disciples'?"  But  he  denied,  saying,  "I  know  not,  neither  un 
derstand  I  what  thou  sayest."  And  he  went  out  into  the  porch ;  and  the 
cock  crew. 

And  a  maid  saw  him  again,  and  began  to  say  to  them  that  stood  by, 
"This  is  one  of  them."  And  he  denied  it  again.  And  about  the  space  of 
one  hour  after,  they  that  stood  by  said  again  to  Peter,  "Surely  thou  art 
one  of  them  :  for  thou  art  a  Galilean,  and  thy  speech  agreeth  thereto." 
But  he  began  to  curse  and  to  swear,  saying,  "I  know  not  this  man  of 
whom  ye  speak." 

And  immediately,  while  he  yet  spake,  the  second  time  the  cock  crew. 
And  the  Lord  turned,  and  looked  upon  Peter.  And  Peter  called  to  mind 
the  word  that  Jesus  said  unto  him,  "  Before  the  cock  crow  twice,  thou  shalt 
deny  me  thrice."  And  when  he  thought  thereon,  he  went  out,  and  wept 
bitterly.

THE  DENIAL  OF  PETER

236  JESUS  IS  EXAMINED  BY  THE  HIGH-PRIEST. 

The  high-priest  then  asked  Jesus  of  his  disciples,  and  of  his  doctrine. 

Jesus  answered  him,  "I  spake  openly  to  the  world;  I  ever  taught  in  the 

synagogue,   and  in   the  temple,   whither  the  Jews  always  resort ;   and  in 

,  secret  have  I  said  nothing1.     Why  askest  thou  me !  ask  them

bytheMgh-priest.  Wi1jc}1  heard  me,  what  1  have  said  unto  them  :  behold,  they 
know  what  I  said."  And  when  he  had  thus  spoken,  one  of  the  officers 
which  stood  by  struck  Jesus  with  the  palm  of  his  hand,  saying,  "Answerest 
thou  the  high-priest  so?"  Jesus  answered  him,  "If  I  have  spoken  evil, 
bear  witness  of  the  evil :  but  if  well,  why  smitest  thou  irie  1  " 

And  as  soon  as  it  was  day,  the  elders  of  the  people  and  the  chief  priests 
and  the  scribes  came  together,  and  led  him  into  their  council.  And  the 
chief  priests  and  all  the  council  sought  for  witness  against  Jesus  to  put  him 
to  death ;  and  found  none.  For  many  bare  false  witness  against  him,  but 
their  witness  agreed  not  together.  And  there  arose  certain,  and  bare  false 
witness  against  him,  saying,  "  We  heard  him  say,  I  will  destroy  this  temple 
that  is  made  with  hands,  and  within  three  days  I  will  build  another  made 
without  hands."  But  neither  so  did  their  witness  agree  together.  And  the 
high-priest  stood  up  in  the  midst,  and  asked  Jesus,  saying,  "  Answerest 
HO  is  examined  thou  nothing !  what  is  it  which  these  witness  against  thee  ?  " 

before  the  Sanhe-     -,-,•,•,-•-,•,.  -,  -,  •,.  A          •          i         i   •     i 

drhn-  J3ut  he  held  his  peace,  and  answered  nothing.     Again  the  liigh- 

priest  asked  him,  and  said  unto  him,  "  I  adjure  thee  by  the  living  God,  that 
thou  tell  us  whether  thou  be  the  Christ,  the  Son  of  God."  Jesus  saith  unto 
him,  "I  am:  and  ye  shall  see  the  Son  of  man  sitting  on  the  right  hand  of 
power,  and  coming  in  the  clouds  of  heaven."  Then  said  they  all,  "Art 
thou  then  the  Son  of  God  ?  "  And  he  said  unto  them,  "  Ye  say  that  I  am." 
Then  the  high-priest  rent  his  clothes,  saying,  "  He  hath  spoken  blas 
phemy  ;  what  further  need  have  we  of  witnesses  ?  behold,  now  ye  have 
heard  his  blasphemy.  What  think  ye  ?  "  They  answered  and  said,  "  He 
is  guilty  of  death." 

And  the  men  that  held  Jesus  mocked  him,  and  smote  him.  And  some 
Jesus  is  mocked  began  to  spit  on  him,  and  to  cover  his  face,  and  to  buffet  him,

against  him. 

When  the  morning  was  come,  all  the  chief  priests  and  elders  of  the 
He  is  accused  people  took  counsel  against  Jesus  to  put  him  to  death :  and 

before  the  Roman    r       J  *  _     .        , 

when  they  had  bound  him,  they  led  him  away  from  Laiaphas 
unto  the  hall  of  judgment :  and  delivered  him  to  Pontius  Pilate  the  gov 
ernor.  And  they  themselves  went  not  into  the  judgment  hall,  lest  they 
should  be  defiled ;  but  that  they  might  eat  the  passover.  Pilate  then  went 
out  unto  them,  and  said,  "What  accusation  bring  ye  against  this  man?" 
They  answered  and  said  unto  him,  "If  he  were  not  a  malefactor,  we  would

238  PILATE  SENDS  HIM  TO  HEROD. 

not  have  delivered  him  up  unto  thee."  Then  said  Pilate  unto  them,  "Take 
ye  him,  and  judge  him  according-  to  your  law."  The  Jews  therefore  said 
unto  him,  "  It  is  not  lawful  for  us  to  put  any  man  to  death" :  that  the  say 
ing  of  Jesus  might  be  fulfilled,  which  he  spake,  signifying  what  death  he 
should  die.  And  they  began  to  accuse  him,  saying,  "We  found  this  fellow 
perverting  the  nation,  and  forbidding  to  give  tribute  to  Caesar,  saying  that 
he  himself  is  Christ  a  king."  Then  Pilate  entered  into  the  judgment  hall 
again,  and  called  Jesus,  and  said  unto  him,  "  Art  tliou  the  King  of  the 
Jews?"  Jesus  answered  him,  u  Sayest  thou  this  thing  of  thyself,  or  did 
others  tell  it  thee  of  me1?"  Pilate  answered,  "Am  I  a  Jew?  Thine  own 
nation  and  the  chief  priests  have  delivered  thee  unto  me :  what  hast  thou 
done?"  Jesus  answered,  "My  kingdom  is  not  of  this  world:  if  my  king 
dom  were  of  this  world,  then  would  my  servants  fight,  that  I  should  not  be 
delivered  to  the  Jews :  but  now  is  my  kingdom  not  from  hence."  Pilate 
therefore  said  unto  him,  "Art  thou  a  king  then?"  Jesus  answered,  "Thou 
sayest  that  I  am  a  king.  To  this  end  was  I  born,  and  for  this  cause  came 
I  into  the  world,  that  I  should  bear  witness  unto  the  truth.  Every  one 
that  is  of  the  truth  heareth  my  voice."  Pilate  saith  unto  him,  "What  is 
truth  ?  "  And  when  he  had  said  this,  he  went  out  again  unto  the  Jews,  and 
saith  unto  them,  "  I  find  in  him  no  fault  at  all."  And  they  were  the  more 
fierce,  saying,  "He  stirreth  up  the  people,  teaching  throughout  all  Jewry, 
beginning  from  Galilee  to  this  place." 

When  Pilate  heard  of  Galilee,  he  asked  whether  the  man  were  a  Gali- 
piiate  sends  him  lean.  And  as  soon  as  he  knew  that  he  belonged  unto  Herod's 
jurisdiction,  he  sent  him  to  Herod,  who  himself  also  was  at 
Jerusalem  at  that  time.  And  when  Herod  saw  Jesus,  he  was  exceeding 
glad :  for  he  was  desirous  to  see  him  of  a  long  season,  because  he  had 
heard  many  things  of  him ;  and  he  hoped  to  have  seen  some  miracle  done 
by  him.  Then  he  questioned  with  him  in  many  words ;  but  he  answered 
him  nothing.  And  the  chief  priests  and  scribes  stood  and  vehemently 
accused  him.  And  Herod  with  his  men  of  war  set  him  at  naught,  and 
mocked  him,  and  arrayed  him  in  a  gorgeous  robe,  and  sent  him  again  to 
Pilate.  And  the  same  day  Pilate  and  Herod  were  made  friends  together : 
for  before  they  were  at  enmity  between  themselves. 

And  Pilate,  when  he  had  called  together  the  chief  priests  and  the  rulers 
pnate  seeks  to  and  the  people,  said  unto  them,  "Ye  have  brought  this  man 
unto  me,  as  one  that  perverteth  the  people  :  and,  behold,  I, 
having  examined  him  before  you,  have  found  no  fault  in  this  man  touching 
those  things  whereof  ye  accuse  him  :  no,  nor  yet  Herod :  for  I  sent  you  to 
him ;  and,  lo,  nothing  worthy  of  death  is  done  unto  him.  I  will  therefore 
chastise  him,  and  release  him." 

Now  at  that  feast  the  governor  was  wont  to  release  unto  the  people  a

240  JESUS  IS   SCOURGED  AND   MOCKED. 

prisoner,  whom  they  would.  And  there  was  one  named  Barabbas,  which 
lay  bound  with  them  that  had  made  insurrection  with  him,  who  had  com 
mitted  murder  in  the  insurrection.  And  the  multitude  crying  aloud  began 
to  desire  him  to  do  as  he  had  ever  done  unto  them.  But  Pilate  answered 
them,  saying,  "Whom  will  ye  that  I  release  unto  you?  Barabbas,  or  Jesus 
which  is  called  Christ  ?  "  For  he  knew  that  for  envy  they  had  delivered 
him.  When  he  was  set  down  on  the  judgment  seat,  his  wife  sent  unto  him, 
saying,  "  Have  them  nothing  to  do  with  that  just  man :  for  I  have  suffered 
many  things  this  day  in  a  dream  because  of  him."  But  the  chief  priests 
and  elders  persuaded  the  multitude  that  they  should  ask  Barabbas,  and 
destroy  Jesus.  The  governor  answered  and  said  unto  them,  "  Whether  of 
The  multitude  the  twain  will  ye  that  I  release  unto  you?"  They  said,  "Ba-

Jesus  which  is  called  Christ?"  But  they  cried,  saying,  "Crucify  him, 
crucify  him."  And  he  said  unto  them  the  third  time,  "Why,  what  evil 
hath  he  done  ?  I  have  found  no  cause  of  death  in  him :  I  will  therefore 
chastise  him,  and  let  him  go."  And  they  cried  out  the  more  exceedingly, 
"  Crucify  him."  And  the  voices  of  them  and  of  the  chief  priests  prevailed. 

Then  Pilate  therefore  took  Jesus,  and  scourged  him.     And  the  soldiers 

of  the  governor  took  Jesus  into  the  common  hall,  and  gathered  unto  him 

the  whole  band  of  soldiers.     And  they  stripped  him,  and  put 

Jesus  is  scourged  «/ 

on  him  a  scarlet  robe.  And  when  they  had  platted  a  croAvn  of 
thorns,  they  put  it  upon  his  head,  and  a  reed  in  his  right  hand :  and  they 
bowed  the  knee  before  him,  and  mocked  him,  saying,  "  Hail,  king  of  the 
Jews ! "  And  they  spit  upon  him,  and  took  the  reed,  and  smote  him  on  the 
head. 

Pilate  therefore  went  forth  again,  and  saith  unto  them,  "  Behold,  I  bring 

him  forth  to  you,  that  ye  may  know  that  I  find  no  fault  in  him."     Then 

came  Jesus  forth,  wearing1  the  crown  of  thorns,  and  the  purple

chief  priests  therefore  and  officers  saw  him,  they  cried  out,  saying,  "Crucify 
him,  crucify  him."  Pilate  saith  unto  them,  "Take  ye  him,  and  crucify  him: 
for  I  find  no  fault  in  him."  The  Jews  answered  him,  "We  have  a  law,  and 
by  our  law  he  ought  to  die,  because  he  made  himself  the  Son  of  God." 

When  Pilate  therefore  heard  that  saying,  he  was  the  more  afraid ;  and 
went  again -into  the  judgment  hall,  and  saith  unto  Jesus,  "Whence  art 
them  ?  "  But  Jesus  gave  him  no  answer.  Then  saith  Pilate  unto  him, 
"  Speakest  them  not  unto  me?  knowest  them  not  that  I  have  power  to 
crucify  thee,  and  have  power  to  release  thee?"  Jesus  answered,  "Thou 
couldest  have  no  power  at  all  against  me,  except  it  were  given  thee  from 
above :  therefore  he  that  delivered  me  unto  thee  hath  the  greater  sin."  And 
from  thenceforth  Pilate  sought  to  release  him :  but  the  Jews  cried  out, 


242  JESUS  IS  DELIVERED    TO  BE  CRUCIFIED. 

saying1,  "  If  thou  let  tins  man  go,  thou  art  not  Caesar's  friend :  whosoever 
maketh  himself  a  king  speaketh  against  Caesar." 

When  Pilate  therefore  heard  that  saying,  he  brought  Jesus  forth,  and  sat 
down  in  the  judgment  seat  in  a  place  that  is  called  the  Pavement,  but  in 
the  Hebrew,  Gabbatha.  And  it  was  the  preparation  of  the  passover,  and 
about  the  sixth  hour:  and  he  saith  unto  the  Jews,  "Behold  your  King!" 
But  they  cried  out,  "  Away  with  him,  away  with  him,  crucify  him."  Pilate 
saith  unto  them,  "Shall  I  crucify  your  King!"  The  chief  priests  an 
swered,  "We  have  no  king  but  Caesar." 

When  Pilate  saw  that  he  could  prevail  nothing,  but  that  rather  a  tumult 
was  made,  he  took  water,  and  washed  his  hands  before  the  multitude,  say 
ing,  "I  am  innocent  of  the  blood  of  this  just  person:  see  ye  to  it."  Then 
answered  all  the  people,  and  said,  "His  blood  be  on  us,  and  on  our  children." 
,  And  he  released  unto  them  him  that  for  sedition  and  murder

Jesus  to  their  will.  And  after  that  they  had  mocked  him,  they  took  the 
robe  off  from  him,  and  put  his  own  raiment  on  him,  and  led  him  away  to 
crucify  him. 

Then  Judas,  which  had  betrayed  him,  when  he  saw  that  he  was  con 
demned,  repented  himself,  and  brought  again  the  thirty  pieces  of  silver  to 
the  chief  priests  and  elders,  saying,  "  1  have  sinned  in  that  I  have  betrayed 
the  innocent  blood."     And  they  said,   "  What  is  that  to  us  ?  see  thou  to 
that."      And  he  cast  down  the  pieces  of  silver  in  the  temple,

and  departed,  and  went  and  hanged  himself.  And  the  chief 
priests  took  the  silver  pieces,  and  said,  "It  is  not  lawful  for  to  put  them 
into  the  treasury,  because  it  is  the  price  of  blood."  And  they  took  counsel, 
and  bought  with  them  the  potter's  field,  to  bury  strangers  in.  Wherefore 
that  field  was  called,  "  The  field  of  blood,"  unto  this  day.  Then  was  fid- 
filled  that  which  was  spoken  by  Jeremiah  the  prophet,  saying,  "  And  they 
took  the  thirty  pieces  of  silver,  the  price  of  him  that  was  valued,  whom 
they  of  the  children  of  Israel  did  value ;  and  gave  them  for  the  potter's 
field,  as  the  Lord  appointed  me."

CHAPTER    XL. 

CRUCIFIXION,    DEATH,   AXD   BURIAL   OF  JESUS. 

Jesns,   bearing1   his   cross,   went  forth.      And   as  they 

*J 

led  him  away,  they  laid  hold  upon  one  Simon  a  Cy  re 
man,  who  passed  by,  coming-  out  of  the  country,  the 
father  of  Alexander  and  llufus,  and  on  him  they  laid 
the  cross,  that  he  might  bear  it  after  Jesus.  And  there 
followed  him  a  great  company  of  people,  and  of  women, 
which  also  bewailed  and  lamented  him.  But  Jesus  turning  unto  them 
said,  "Daughters  of  Jerusalem,  weep  not  for  me,  but  weep  for  yourselves, 

Jesus  is  led  away    Jllld    fc)1*    y°U1'    Children.        Fol<>     Miold,     tllG    days    ai'C    COlllillg,    ill

wombs  that  never  bare,  and  the  paps  which  never  gave  suck.  Then 
shall  they  begin  to  say  to  the  mountains,  Fall  on  us ;  and  to  the  hills, 
Cover  us.  For  if  they  do  these  things  in  a  green  tree,  what  shall  be 
done  in  the  dry?"  And  there  were  also  two  other,  malefactors,  led  with 
him  to  be  put  to  death.  And  when  they  were  come  unto  a  place  called 
Golgotha,  that  is  to  say,  a  place  of  a  skull,  they  gave  him  vinegar  to  drink 
mingled  with  gall :  and  when  lie  had  tasted  thereof,  he  would  not  drink. 

And  the  soldiers  crucified  him,  and  took  his  garments,   and  made  four 
parts,  to  every  soldier  a  part;  and  also  his  coat:  now  the  coat  was  with 
out  seam,   woven  from  the  top  throughout.      They  said  therefore  among 
themselves,  "Let  us  not  rend  it,  but  cast  lots  for  it,  whose  it 

He  is  crucified.  i      11     i        u  i  •  .  r    -\f-\~\      -\  1-1  •   i 

shall  be  :  that  the  scripture  might  be  lumlJed,  which  saith, 
"They  parted  my  raiment  among  them,  and  for  my  vesture  they  did  cast 
lots."  These  things  therefore  the  soldiers  did.  And  Pilate  wrote  a  title, 
and  put  it  on  the  cross.  And  the  writing  was, 

JESUS  OF  NAZARETH  THE  KING  OF  THE  JEWS. 

This  title  then  read  many  of  the  Jews :  for  the  place  where  Jesus  was 
crucified  was  nigh  to  the  city :  and  it  was  written  in  Hebrew,  and 
Greek,  and  Latin.  Then  said  the  chief  priests  of  the  Jews  to  Pilate, 
"Write  not,  The  King  of  the  Jews;  but  that  he  said,  I  am  King  of  the 

244

24G  THE  PENITENT  THIEF. 

Jews."  Pilate  answered,  "What  I  have  written  I  have  written."  And 
it  was  the  third  hour,  and  they  crucified  him.  And  with  him  they 
crucify  two  thieves ;  the  one  on  his  rig-lit  hand,  and  the  other  on  his  left. 
And  the  scripture  was  fulfilled,  which  saith,  "And  he  was  numbered  with 
the  transgressors."  Then  said  Jesus,  "Father,  forgive  them; 

He  prays  for  his 

for  they  know  not  what  they  do."  And  they  parted  his  raiment, 
and  cast-  lots.  And  the  people  stood  beholding-.  And  they  that  passed  by 
reviled  him,  wagging  their  heads,  and  saying,  "  Thou  that  destroyest  the 

temple,  and  buildest  it  in  three  days,  save  thyself.     If  thou  be 

the  Son  of  God,  come  down  from  the  cross."  Likewise  also  the 
chief  priests  mocking-  him,  with  the  scribes  and  elders,  said,  "  lie  saved 
others ;  himself  he  cannot  save.  If  he  be  the  King-  of  Israel,  let  him  now 
come  down  from  the  cross,  and  we  will  believe  him.  He  trusted  in  God  ; 
let  him  deliver  him  now,  if  he  will  have  him :  for  he  said,  I  am  the 
Son  of  God."  And  the  soldiers  also  mocked  him,  coming-  to  him,  and 
offering-  him  vinegar,  and  saying,  "If  thou  be  the  king  of  the  Jews,  save 
thyself." 

And  one  of  the  malefactors  which  were  hanged  railed  on  him,  .saying, 
"If  thou  be  Christ,  save  thyself  and  us."  But  the  other  answering  rebuked 

him,  saving-    "Dost  not  thou  fear  God,  seeing  thou  art  in  the 

The  penitent  *•        » ' 

thief-  same  condemnation  "I  and  we  indeed  justly  ;  for  we  receive  the 

due  reward  of  our  deeds :  but  this  man  hath  done  nothing  amiss."  And  he 
said  unto  Jesus,  "  Lord,  remember  me  when  thou  comest  into  thy  king 
dom."  And  Jesus  said  unto  him,  "  Verily  I  say  unto  tliee,  To-day  shalt 
thou  be  with  me  in  paradise." 

Now  there  stood  by  the  cross  of  Jesus  his  mother,  and  his  mother's  sister, 
Mary  the  wife  of  Cleophas,  and  Mary  Magdalene.  When  Jesus  therefore 
jesvushowia  saw  his  mother,  and  the  disciple  standing  by,  whom  he  loved,

«/ 

saith  he  to  the  disciple,  "  Behold  thy  mother  !  "  And  from  that  hour  that 
disciple  took  her  unto  his  own  home. 

Now  from  the  sixth  hour  there  was  darkness  over  all  the  land  unto  the 
ninth  hour.  And  about  the  ninth  hour  Jesus  cried  with  a  loud  voice,  say 
ing,  "Eli,  Eli,  lama  sabachthani  ? "  that  is  to  say,  "My  God, 
my  God,  why  hast  thou  forsaken  me  ?  "  Some  of  them  that 
stood  there,  when  they  heard  that,  said,  "This  man  calleth  for  Elijah." 
After  this,  Jesus,  knowing  that  all  things  were  now  accomplished,  that  the 
scripture  might  be  fulfilled,  saith,  "  I  thirst."  Now  there  was  set  a  vessel 
full  of  vinegar  :  and  straightway  one  of  them  ran,  and  took  a  sponge,  and 
filled  it  with  vinegar,  and  put  it  on  a  reed,  and  gave  him  to  drink.  The 
rest  said,  "  Let  be,  let  us  see  whether  Elijah  will  come  to  save  him." 
Jesus,  when  he  had  cried  again  with  a  loud  voice,  said,  "  It  is  finished ; 


'It  is  finished." 


AFTER  T1IE  CRUCIFIXION. 


248  THE  DESCENT  FROM  THE  CROSS. 

Father,  into  thy  hands  I  commend  my  spirit " :   and  having  said  thus,  he 
bowed  his  head,  and  gave  up  the  ghost. 

And,  behold,  the  veil  of  the  temple  was  rent  in  twain  from  the  top  to  the 

bottom  ;  and  the  earth  did  quake,  and  the  rocks  rent ;  and  the  graves  were 

opened  ;  and  many  bodies  of  the  saints  which  slept  arose,  and  came  out  of 

the  graves  after  his  resurrection,  and  went  into  the  holy  citv, 

The  signs  whicli  J  ./  ' 

and  appeared  unto  many.  Now  when  the  centurion,  and  they 
that  were  with  him,  watching  Jesus,  saw  the  earthquake,  and  that  he  so 
cried  out,  and  gave  up  the  ghost,  they  feared  greatly,  saying,  "  Truly  this 
was  the  Son  of  God."  And  all  the  people  that  came  together  to  that  sight, 
beholding  the  things  which  were  done,  smote  their  breasts,  and  returned. 

And  all  his  acquaintance,  and  the  women,  stood  afar  off,  beholding  these 
things,  among  which  was  Mary  Magdalene,  and  Mary  the  mother  of  James 
and  Joses,  and  the  mother  of  Zebedee's  children,  which  followed  Jesus  from 
Galilee,  ministering  unto  him:  and  many  other  women  which  came  up  with 
him  unto  Jerusalem. 

The  Jews  therefore,  because  it  was  the  preparation,  that  the  bodies 
should  not  remain  upon  the  cross  on  the  sabbath  day,  (for  that  sabbath  day 
was  an  high  day,)  besought  Pilate  that  their  legs  might  be  broken,  and  that 
they  might  be  taken  away.  Then  came  the  soldiers,  and  brake  the  legs  of 
the  first,  and  of  the  other  which  was  crucified  with  him.  But  when  they 
came  to  Jesus,  and  saw  that  he  was  dead  already,  they  brake 

Ine  descent  irom  J  '  J 

not  his  legs  :  but  one  of  the  soldiers  with  a  spear  pierced  his 
side,  and  forthwith  came  thereout  blood  and  water.  And  he  that  saw  it 
bare  record,  and  his  record  is  true  :  and  he  knoweth  that  he  saith  true,  that 
ye  might  believe.  For  these  things  were  done,  that  the  scripture  should  be 
fulfilled,  "A  bone  of  him  shall  not  be  broken."  And  again  another  scrip 
ture  saith,  "They  shall  look  on  him  whom  they  pierced." 

And  now  when  the  even  was  come,  there  came  a  rich  man  named  Joseph, 
of  Arimathea,  a  city  of  the  Jews :  a  counselor ;  and  he  was  a  good  man, 
and  a  just :  who  also  himself  waited  for  the  kingdom  of  God  :  (the  same 
had  not  consented  to  the  counsel  and  deed  of  them.)  Joseph  being  a  dis 
ciple  of  Jesus,  but  secretly  for  fear  of  the  Jews,  came,  and  went  in  boldly 
unto  Pilate,  and  craved  the  body  of  Jesus.  And  Pilate  marveled  if  he 
were  already  dead :  and  calling  unto  him  the  centurion,  he  asked  him 
whether  he  had  been  any  while  dead.  And  when  he  knew  it  of  the  cen 
turion,  he  gave  the  body  to  Joseph.  He  came  therefore,  and  took  the  body 
of  Jesus.  And  there  came  also  Nicodemus,  which  at  the  first 
came  to  Jesus  by  night,  and  brought  a  mixture  of  myrrh  and 
aloes,  about  an  hundred  pound  weight.  Then  took  they  the  body  of  Jesus, 
and  wound  it  in  linen  clothes  with  the  spices,  as  the  manner  of  the  Jews  is 
to  bury. 


The  burial. 


250 


THE  BURIAL. 


Now  in  the  place  where  he  was  crucified  there  was  a  garden ;  and  in 
the  garden  a  new  sepulcher,  hewn  out  of  a  rock,  wherein  was  never 
man  yet  laid.  There  laid  they  Jesus  therefore  because  of  the  Jews'  prep 
aration  day.  And  Joseph  rolled  a  great  stone  to  the  door  of  the  sepulcher, 
and  departed.  And  the  women  also,  which  came  with  him  from  Galilee, 
followed  after,  and  beheld  the  sepulcher,  and  how  his  body  was  laid.  And 
they  returned,  and  prepared  spices  and  ointments  ;  and  rested  the  sabbath 
day  according  to  the  commandment.  And  there  was  Mary  Magdalene,  and 
the  other  Mary,  sitting  over  against  the  sepulcher. 

Now  the  next  day,  that  followed  the  day  of  the  preparation,  the  chief 
priests  and  Pharisees  came  together  unto  Pilate,  saying,  "  Sir,  we  remem 
ber  that  that  deceiver  said,  while  he  was  yet  alive,  After  three  days 
I  will  rise  again.  Command  therefore  that  the  sepulcher  be  made 
sure  until  the  third  day,  lest  his  disciples  come  by  night,  and  steal  him 
away,  and  say  unto  the  people,  lie  is  risen  from  the  dead :  so  the  last 
A  guard  placed  error  shall  be  worse  than  the  first."  Pilate  said  unto  them, 

over  the  sepul-  -  1  ... 

cher-  'Ye    have    a    watch:    go    your    way,    make    it   as   sure    as    ye 

can."     So  they  went,    and   made    the    sepulcher   sure,    sealing   the    stone, 
and  setting  a  watch. 


CHAPTEE    XLI. 

THE   RESURRECTION. 

when    the    sabbath   was   past,    Mary  Magdalene,   and 
Mary  the  mother  of  James,  and  Salome,  had  bought  sweet 
spices,  that  they  might  come  and  anoint  him.     And  very 
early  in  the  morning  the  first  day  of  the  week,  they  came 
unto  the  sepulcher  at  the  rising  of  the  sun.     And,  behold, 
there  was  a  great  earthquake :  for  the  angel  of  the  Lord 
descended   from   heaven,    and  came  and  rolled  back  the   stone  from  the 
The  angei  at  the  door,  an(l  s&t  upon  it.     His  countenance  was  like  lightning,  and 
his  raiment  white  as  snow :  and  for  fear  of  him  the  keepers  did 
shake,  and  became  as  dead  men. 

And  they  said  among  themselves,  "Who  shall  roll  us  away  the  stone 
from  the  door  of  the  sepulcher  ?  "  And  when  they  looked,  they  saw  that 
the  stone  was  rolled  away :  for  it  was  very  great.  And  entering  into  the 
sepulcher,  they  saw  a  young  man  sitting  on  the  right  side,  clothed  in  a 
long  white  garment ;  and  they  were  affrighted.  And  he  saith  unto  them, 
"Be  not  affrighted.  Ye  seek  Jesus  of  Nazareth,  which  was  crucified:  he  is 
risen  ;  he  is  not  here  :  behold  the  place  where  they  laid  him.  But  go  your 
way,  tell  his  disciples  and  Peter  that  he  goeth  before  you  into  Galilee : 
there  shall  ye  see  him,  as  he  said  unto  you."  And  they  departed  quickly 
from  the  sepulcher  with  fear  and  great  joy ;  and  did  run  to  bring  his  dis 
ciples  word. 

Then  [Mary  Magdalene]  cometh  to  Simon  Peter,  and  to  the  other 
disciple,  whom  Jesus  loved,  and  saith  unto  them,  "  They  have  taken 
away  the  Lord  out  of  the  sepulcher,  and  we  know  not  where  they  have 
laid  him." 

Peter  therefore  went  forth,  and  that  other  disciple,  and  came  to  the  sepul 
cher.     So  they  ran  both  together :  and  the  other  disciple  did  outrun  Peter, 
and  came  first  to  the  sepulcher.    And  he  stooping  down,  and  looking  in,  saw 
the   linen  clothes  lying- ;    yet   went  he  not  in.     Then    cometh 

An  empty  tomb.  • 

Simon  Peter  following  him,  and  went  into  the  sepulcher,  and 
seeth  the  linen  clothes  lie,  and  the  napkin,  that  was  about  his  head,  not

254  JESUS  APPEARS   TO  MARY  MAGDALENE. 

lying  with  the  linen  clothes,  but  wrapped  together  in  a  place  by  itself. 
Then  went  in  also  that  other  disciple,  which  came  first  to  the  sepulcher, 
and  he  saw,  and  believed.  For  as  yet  they  knew  not  the  scripture,  that 
he  must  rise  again  from  the  dead. 

Then  the  disciples  went  away  again  unto  their  own  home.  But  Mary 
stood  without  at  the  sepulcher  weeping :  and  as  she  wept,  she  stooped 
down,  and  looked  into  the  sepulcher,  and  seeth  two  angels  in  white  sitting, 
the  one  at  the  head,  and  the  other  at  the  feet,  where  the  body  of  Jesus  had 
lain.  And  they  say  unto  her,  "Woman,  why  weepest  thou?"  She  saith 
unto  them,  "  Because  they  have  taken  away  my  Lord,  and  I  know  not 
where  they  have  laid  him."  And  when  she  had  thus  said,  she  turned  her 
self  back,  and  saw  Jesus  standing,  and  knew  not  that  it  was  Jesus.  Jesus 
jesus  appears  to  sa^n  unto  ner>  "  Woman,  why  weepest  thou  ?  whom  seekest 
Mary  Magdalene.  t]lou  $  »  g]ie>  supposing  him  to  be  the  garden ci*,  saith  unto  him, 
"  Sir,  if  thou  have  borne  him  hence,  tell  me  where  thou  hast  laid  him,  and 
I  will  take  him  away."  Jesus  saith  unto  her,  "Mary."  She  turned  herself, 
and  saith  unto  him,  "  Eabboni"  ;  (which  is  to  say,  "Master.")  Jesus  saith 
unto  her,  "Touch  me  not;  for  I  am  not  yet  ascended  to  my  Father:  but 
go  to  my  brethren,  and  say  unto  them,  I  ascend  unto  my  Father,  and  your 
Father  ;  and  to  my  God,  and  your  God." 

It  was  Mary  Magdalene,  and  Joanna,  and  Mary  the  mother  of  James, 

and  other  women  that  were  with  them,  which  told  these  things  unto  the 

apostles.     And  as  they  went  to  tell  his  disciples,  behold,  Jesus  met  them, 

saying,  "  All  hail."     And  they  came  and  held  him  by  the  feet,  and  Avor- 

shiped  him.     Then  said  Jesus  unto  them,  "Be  not  afraid:  ffo 

The  apostles  do 

tell  my  brethren  that  they  go  into  Galilee,  and  there  shall  they 
see  me."  And  their  words  seemed  to  them  as  idle  tales,  and  they  believed 
them  not. 

Now  some  of  the  watch  came  into  the  city,  and  showed  unto  the  chief 
priests  all  the  things  that  were  done.  And  when  they  were  assembled  with 
The  story  of  the  ^1G  elders,  R11(^  nac^  taken  counsel,  they  gave  large  money  unto 
the  soldiers,  saying,  "  Say  ye,  His  disciples  came  by  night,  and 
stole  him  away  while  we  slept.  And  if  this  come  to  the  governor's  ears, 
we  will  persuade  him,  and  secure  yon."  So  they  took  the  money,  and  did 
as  they  were  taught :  and  this  saying  is  commonly  reported  among  the 
Jews  until  this  day. 

And,  behold,  two  of  the  disciples  went  that  same  day  to  a  village  called 
Emmaus,  which  was  from  Jerusalem  about  threescore  furlongs.  And  they 
talked  together  of  all  these  things  which  had  happened.  And  it  came  to 
pass,  that,  while  they  communed  together  and  reasoned,  Jesus  himself  drew 
near,  and  went  with  them.  But  their  eyes  were  holden  that  they  should 
not  know  him.  And  he  said  unto  them,  "  What  manner  of  communications 


256  JESUS  APPEARS   TO   TWO   OF  HIS  DISCIPLES.

twoUdScipPeiesSo^  one  °f  them,  whose  name  was  Cleopas,  answering  said  unto 
m™sw&yi°  him,  "Art  thou  only  a  stranger  in  Jerusalem,  and  hast  not 
known  the  things  which  are  come  to  pass  there  in  these  days?"  And  he 
said  unto  them,  "What  things?"  And  they  said  unto  him,  "Concerning 
Jesus  of  Nazareth,  which  was  a  prophet  mighty  in  deed  and  word  before 
God  and  all  the  people :  and  how  the  chief  priests  and  our  rulers  delivered 
him  to  be  condemned  to  death,  and  have  crucified  him.  But  we  trusted 
that  it  had  been  he  which  should  have  redeemed  Israel :  and  beside  all  this, 
to-day  is  the  third  day  since  these  things  were  done.  Yea,  and  certain 
women  also  of  our  company  made  us  astonished,  which  were  early  at  the 
sepulcher ;  and  when  they  found  not  his  body,  they  came,  saying  that  they 
had  also  seen  a  vision  of  angels,  which  said  that  he  was  alive.  And  cer 
tain  of  them  which  were  with  us  went  to  the  sepulcher,  and  found  it  even 
so  as  the  women  had  said:  but  him  they  saw  not."  Then  he  said  unto 
them,  "  0  fools,  and  slow  of  heart  to  believe  all  that  the  prophets  have 
spoken  :  ought  not  Christ  to  have  suffered  these  things,  and  to  enter  into 
his  glory  ?  "  And  beginning  at  Moses  and  all  the  prophets,  he  expounded 
unto  them  in  all  the  scriptures  the  things  concerning  himself. 

And  they  drew  nigh  unto  the  village,  whither  they  went :  and  he  made 
as  though  he  would  have  gone  further.  But  they  constrained  him,  saying, 
"Abide  with  us  :  for  it  is  toward  evening,  and  the  day  is  far  spent."  And 
he  went  in  to  tarry  with  them.  And  it  came  to  pass,  as  he  sat  at  meat  with 
them,  he  took  bread,  and  blessed  it,  and  brake,  and  gave  to  them.  And 
their  eyes  were  opened,  and  they  knew  him ;  and  he  vanished  out  of  their 
sight.  And  they  said  one  to  another,  "  Did  not  our  heart  burn  within  us, 
while  he  talked  with  us  by  the  way,  and  while  he  opened  to  us  the  scrip 
tures  ?  "  And  they  rose  up  the  same  hour,  and  returned  to  Jerusalem,  and 
found  the  eleven  gathered  together,  and  them  that  were  with  them,  saying, 
"  The  Lord  is  risen  indeed,  and  hath  appeared  to  Simon."  And  they  told 
what  things  were  done  in  the  way,  and  how  he  was  known  of  them  in 
breaking  of  bread. 

And  as  they  thus  spake,  Jesus  himself  stood  in  the  midst  of  them, 
and  saith  unto  them,  "  Peace  be  unto  you."  But  they  were  terrified  and 
Jesus  appears  to  affrighted,  and  supposed  that  they  had  seen  a  spirit.  And  he 

the  eleven  and  7  rr  J  1111 

said  unto  them,  "Why  are  ye  troubled?  and  why  do  thoughts 
arise  in  your  hearts  ?  behold  my  hands  arid  my  feet,  that  it  is  I  myself : 
handle  me,  and  see;  for  a  spirit  hath  not  flesh  and  bones,  as  ye  see  me 
have."  And  when  he  had  thus  spoken,  he  showed  them  his  hands  and  his 
feet.  And  while  they  yet  believed  not  for  joy,  and  wondered,  he  said 
unto  them,  "  Have  ye  here  any  meat  1 "  And  they  gave  him  a  piece  of  a 
broiled  fish,  and  of  an  honeycomb.  And  he  took  it,  and  did  eat  before

them.  Then  said  Jesus  to  them  again,  "  Peace  be  unto  you:  as  my  Father 
hath  sent  me,  even  so  send  I  you."  And  when  he  had  said  this,  he  breathed 
on  them,  and  saitli  unto  them,  "  Receive  ye  the  Holy  Ghost  :  whosesoever 
sins  ye  remit,  they  are  remitted  unto  them  ;  and  whosesoever  sins  ye 
retain,  they  are  retained." 

But  Thomas,  one  of  the  twelve,  called  Didymus,  was  not  with  them 
when  Jesus  came.  The  other  disciples  therefore  said  unto  him,  "We  have 
seen  the  Lord."  But  he  said  unto  them,  "  Except  I  shall  see  in  his  hands 
the  print  of  the  nails,  and  put  my  finger  into  the  print  of  the  nails,  and 
thrust  my  hand  into  his  side,  I  will  not  believe."  And  after  eight  days 
again  his  disciples  were  within,  and  Thomas  with  them  :  then  came  Jesus, 
the  doors  being  shut,  and  stood  in  the  midst,  and  said,  "Peace  be  unto 
you."  Then  saith  he  to  Thomas,  "  Reach  hither  thy  finger,  and  behold 
my  hands  ;  and  reach  hither  thy  hand,  and  thrust  it  into  my  side  :  and 
be  not  faithless,  but  believing."  And  Thomas  answered  and

him,  "Thomas,  because  thou  hast  seen  me,  tliou  hast  believed:  blessed 
are  they  that  have  not  seen,  and  yet  have  believed."  And  he  upbraided 
them  with  their  unbelief  and  hardness  of  heart,  because  they  believed 
not  them  which  had  seen  him  after  he  was  risen. 

And  he  said  iinto  them,  "  These  are  the  words  which  I  spake  unto  you, 
while  I  was  yet  with  you,  that  all  things  must  be  fulfilled,   which  were 

J  <J  O 

written  in  the  law  of  Moses,  and  in  the  prophets,  and  in  the  psalms,  con 
cerning  me."  Then  opened  he  their  understanding,  that  they  might  under 
stand  the  scriptures,  and  said  unto  them,  "Thus  it  is  written,  and  thus  it 
behoved  Christ  to  suffer,  and  to  rise  from  the  dead  the  third  day  :  and  that 
repentance  and  remission  of  sins  should  be  preached  in  his  name  among  all 
nations,  beginning  at  Jerusalem.  And  ye  are  witnesses  of  these  things. 
Go  ye  therefore,  and  teach  all  nations,  baptizing  them  in  the

teaching  them  to  observe  all  things  whatsoever  I  have  commanded  you. 
He  that  believeth  and  is  baptized  shall  be  saved  ;  but  he  that  believeth  not 
shall  be  damned.  And,  behold,  I  send  the  promise  of  my  Father  upon 
you  :  and  these  signs  shall  follow  them  that  believe  :  In  my  name  shall 
they  cast  out  devils  ;  they  shall  speak  with  new  tongues  ;  they  shall  take 
up  serpents  ;  and  if  they  drink  any  deadly  thing,  it  shall  not  hurt  them  ; 
they  shall  lay  hands  on  the  sick,  and  they  shall  recover.  But  tarry  ye  in 
the  city  of  Jerusalem,  until  ye  be  endued  with  power  from  on  high.  And, 
lo,  I  am  witli  you  alway,  even  unto  the  end  of  the  world." 


JESUS  APPEABS  TO   HIS  DISCIPLES. 


250 


CHAPTER     XLTI. 


LAST   APPEARANCES   AND   ASCENSION. 


these  things  Jesus  showed  himself  again  to  the 
disciples  at  the  sea  of  Tiberias  ;  and  on  this  wise  showed 
lie  himself.  There  Avere  together  Simon  Peter,  and 
Thomas  called  Didymus,  and  Natlianael  of  Cana  in 
Galilee,  and  the  sons  of  Zebedee,  and  two  other  of  his 
disciples.  Simon  Peter  saith  unto  them,  "  I  go  a  fish 
ing."  They  say  unto  him,  "We  also  go  with  thee."  They  went  forth, 
and  entered  into  a  ship  immediately  ;  and  that  night  they  caught  nothing. 
But  when  the  morning  was  now  come,  Jesus  stood  on  the  shore:  but  the 
disciples  knew  not  that  it  was  Jesus.  Then  Jesus  saith  unto  them,  "  Chil 
dren,  have  ye  any  meat  '?  "  They  answered  him,  "  No."  And  he  said  unto 
them,  "  Cast  the  net  on  the  right  side  of  the  ship,  and  ye  shall  find."  They 
cast  therefore,  and  now  they  were  not  able  to  draw  it  for  the  multitude  of 
fishes.  Therefore  that  disciple  whom  Jesus  loved  saith  unto  Peter,  "  It  is 
He  appears  to  the  Lord."  Now  when  Simon  Peter  heard  that  it  was  the  Lord, 

seven  of  them  by  •          i   •        /•    i         i  •  /  1>         ^  in\  ITT 

the  sea  of  Gaiiiee.  jig  girt  ]11S  nsliei1  s  coat  unto  him,  (lor  he  was  naked,.)  and  did 
cast  himself  into  the  sea.  And  the  other  disciples  came  in  a  little  ship  ;  (for 
they  wrere  not  far  from  land,  but  as  it  were  two  hundred  cubits,)  dragging 
the  net  with  fishes.  As  soon  then  as  they  were  come  to  land,  they  saw  a 
fire  of  coals  there,  and  fish  laid  thereon,  and  bread.  Jesus  saith  unto  them, 
"  Bring  of  the  fish  which  ye  have  now  caught."  Simon  Peter  went  up,  and 
drew  the  net  to  land  full  of  great  fishes,  an  hundred  and  fifty  and  three  : 
and  for  all  there  were  so  many,  yet  w^as  not  the  net  broken.  Jesus  saith 
unto  them,  "  Come  and  dine."  And  none  of  the  disciples  durst  ask  him, 
Who  art  tliou  ?  knowing  that  it  was  the  Lord.  Jesus  then  cometh,  and 
taketh  bread,  and  giveth  them,  and  fish  likewise.  This  is  now  the  third 
time  that  Jesus  showed  himself  to  his  disciples,  after  that  he  was  risen  from 
the  dead.  So  when  they  had  dined,  Jesus  saith  to  Simon  Peter,  "  Simon, 
son  of  Jonas,  lovest  thou  me  more  than  these?"  He  saith  unto  him,  "Yea, 
Lord;  thou  knowest  that  I  love  thee."  He  saith  unto  him,  "Feed  my 
lambs."  He  saitli  to  him  again  the  second  time,  "  Simon,  son  of  Jonas, 

250 


262  THE  LAST  APPEARANCE   OF   CHRIST. 

lovest  tbott  me?"  He  saith  unto  liini,  "Yea,  Lord;  thou  knowest  that  I 
love  thee."  He  saitli  unto  him,  "  Feed  my  sheep."  He  saith  unto  him  the 
third  time,  "Simon,  son  of  Jonas,  lovest  thou  me?"  Peter  was  grieved 
because  he  said  unto  him  the  third  time,  "  Lovest  thou  me  ?  "  And  he  said 
unto  him,  "Lord,  thou  knowest  all  things;  thou  knowest  that  I  love  thee." 
Jesus  saith  unto  him,  "  Feed  my  sheep.  Verily,  verily,  I  say  unto  thee, 
When  thou  wast  young,  thou  girdedst  thyself,  and  walkedst  whither  thou 

wouldest :  but  when  thou  shalt  be  old,  thou  shalt  stretch  forth  tlnr  hands, 

j 

and  another  shall  gird  thee,  and  carry  thee  whither  thou  wouldest  not." 
This  spake  he,  signifying  by  what  death  he  should  glorify  God.  And 
when  he  had  spoken  this,  he  saitli  unto  him,  "Follow  me."  Then  Peter, 
turning  about,  seeth  the  disciple  whom  Jesus  loved  following;  which  also 
leaned  on  his  breast  at  supper,  and  said,  "Lord,  which  is  he  that  betrayeth 
thee!"  Peter  seeing  him  saith  to  Jesus,  "Lord,  and  what  shall  this  man 
do?"  Jesus  saith  unto  him,  "If  I  will  that  he  tarry  till  I  come,  what  is 
that  to  thee  ?  follow  thou  me."  Then  went  this  saying1  abroad  among-  the 

*/         o  o 

brethren,  that  that  disciple  should  not  die  :  yet  Jesus  said  not  unto  him, 
"He  shall  not  die"  ;  but,  "If  I  will  that  he  tarry  till  I  come,  what  is  that 
to  thee  ?  "  This  is  the  disciple  which  testifieth  of  these  things,  and  wrote 
these  things :  and  we  know  that  his  testimony  is  true. 

Then  the  eleven  disciples  went  away  into  Galilee,  into  a  mountain  where 
He  appears  to  Jesus  had  appointed  them.  And  when  they  saw  him,  they  Avor-

unto  them,  saying,  "  All  power  is  given  unto  me  in  heaven  and  in  earth." 

He  showed  himself  alive  after  his  passion  by  many  infallible  proofs,  being 
seen  of  them  forty  days,  and  speaking  of  the  things  pertaining  to  the  king 
dom  of  God :  and,  being  assembled  together  with  them,-  commanded  them 
that  they  should  not  depart  from  Jerusalem,  but  wait  for  the  promise  of  the 
Father,  "which,"  saith  he,  "ye  have  heard  of  me."  "For  John  truly  bap 
tized  with  water ;  but  ye  shall  be  baptized  with  the  Holy  Ghost  not  many 
days  hence."  When  they  therefore  Avere  come  together,  they  asked  of 
him,  saying,  "  Lord,  Avilt  thou  at  this  time  restore  again  the 

The  last  appear-  J        o ' 

kingdom  to  Israel?"  And  he  said  unto>  them,  "It  is  not  for 
you  to  know  the  times  or  the  seasons,  which  the  Father  hath  put  in  his 
own  pOAver.  But  ye  shall  receive  power,  after  that  the  Holy  Ghost  is 
come  upon  you  :  and  ye  shall  be  witnesses  unto  me  both  in  Jerusalem, 
and  in  all  _Judsea,  and  in  Samaria,  and  unto  the  uttermost  part  of  the 
earth."  And  when  he  had  spoken  these  tilings,  he  led  them  out  as  far 
as  to  Bethany,  and  he  lifted  up  his  hands,  and  blessed  them. 

And.  it  came  to  pass,  while  they  beheld,  lie  was  taken  up  ;  and  a  cloud 
received  him  out  of  their  sight.  And  he  Avas  receiA~ed  up  into  heaA-en, 
and  sat  on  the  right  hand  of  God.  And  Avhile  they  looked  steadfastly

THE  ASCENSION. 


toward  heaven  as  lie  went  up,  behold,  two  men  stood  by  them  in  white 

apparel;    which  also  said,  "Ye  men  of  Galilee,  why  stand  ye  gazing  up 

into  heaven  I  this  same  Jesus,  which  is  taken  up  from  you  into 

The  ascension.  .  - 

heaven,  shall  so  come  in  like  manner  as  ye  have  seen  him  go 
into  heaven."  And  they  worshiped  him,  and  returned  to  Jerusalem  with 
great  joy  from  the  mount  called  Olivet,  which  is  from  Jerusalem  a  sab 
bath  day's  journey,  and  were  continually  in  the  temple,  praising  and 
blessing  God. 

And  they  went  forth,  and  preached  everywhere,  the  Lord  working  with 
them,  and  confirming  the  word  with  signs  following. 

And  many  other  signs  truly  did  Jesus  in  the  presence  of  his  disciples, 
which  are  not  written  in  this  book,  the  which,  if  they  should  be  written 
every  one,  I  suppose  that  even  the  world  itself  could  not  contain  the  books 
that  should  be  written.  But  these  are  written,  that  ye  might  believe  that 
Jesus  is  the  Christ,  the  Son  of  God ;  and  that  believing  ye  might  have  life 
through  his  name.  Amen.
